Book Club at Kol Shalom

 

Our Book Discussion Club meets monthly to discuss a particular book. The book selection does not necessarily have to be Judaism-related.

Book Discussion: The Polish Boxer

Following his fascinating Tikkun Talk last month, Professor of Latin American Literature at University of Maryland, Saul Sosnowski, will be facilitating a discussion on the book The Polish Boxer, by Eduardo Halfon. The book is available in print, kindle and audible. The group will be meeting on April 26, 2026.
