On October 27 we will discuss The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit by Lucette Lagnado, a memoir of a Jewish family’s exodus from Old Cairo to the New World.

BCC Book Group (Books and Bagels) meets monthly in members’ homes for a bagel brunch and discussion of a book selected by the group. We have been meeting continuously since 1995! We read a variety of books: fiction and non-fiction, American and Israeli, historical and contemporary. The only requirement is some Jewish content (LGBT content is a plus, but not required). Recent selections have included Society’s Child, an autobiography by Janis Ian, and Last Days of Summer, a novel by Steve Kluger about New York during World War II. The group is open to BCC members and non-members, and you are welcome to join us for a particular book that may interest you.
