Ohr Kodesh Book Groups
Ideas and Discussions
Ohr Kodesh is a community of readers and authors. Every corner of our building has books.
We have an afternoon and evening book club which meet in person and via Zoom. Upcoming titles for both groups appear in the monthly bulletin and can be found as events on the OKC Calendar.
OKC Daytime Book Club
Meets on the first Wednesday of the month at noon. Feel free to enjoy your lunch during the meeting.
Books are chosen by the club’s members, generally several months in advance, alternating fiction and nonfiction every other month. Most titles are under 400 pages. New participants are always welcome!
Please visit the OKC Calendar to view the schedule, register and receive the Zoom link. For further information, please contact Natalie Cantor.
OKC Evening Book Group
Meets every 6 weeks on Thursday nights at 8:30PM.
The Evening Group is intergenerational by intention. Book choices include fiction and nonfiction, incorporating Israeli titles in translation. New participants are always welcome!
