The Havurah Shalom Book Group meets monthly to discuss fiction and nonfiction books voted on by Havurah members. All are welcome to any and all meetings. Copies of our upcoming books can be checked out by members in the Havurah library. A list of the 2024-25 books is available here.

This month, we invite you to read and discuss… 

There Was an Old Woman by Andrea Carlisle (nonfiction, 216 pages)

(From the publisher’s description) “In these personal essays, Carlisle looks for new ways to bring herself more fully into this time of life. Those curious about approaching or living in old age will find wisdom and insight in her unique perspective. In a voice that rings with clarity, humor, and humility, Carlisle shows us that old age is not another country where we can expect to find the Old Woman grimly waiting, but instead is an expansion of the borders in the country we are most familiar with: ourselves.”

Discussion led by Beth Kaye. We are also pleased to be joined by the author, Andrea Carlisle!

Nonmembers welcome. RSVP for Zoom info.
