Über uns
The WLS Book Club meets once a month in a pub near shul to discuss a book with some connection to Jewish culture or religion, however tenuous. Our past meetings have included fiction and non-fiction, contemporary and classic books by British and international authors. Our book each month is decided by consensus and we encourage new participants to make suggestions. Our members include both aspiring writers and aspiring kibbitzers. If you enjoy reading even a little then please come along.
