One Book, One Rodfei Zedek

One Book, One Rodfei Zedek

One Book, One Rodfei Zedek is meant to stimulate conversations, both formal and informal, including several discussion sessions throughout the year.

Our book selection for the year 5782 (2021-2022) is The Bread Givers by Anzia Yezierska. It was first published in 1925. We will supplement our discussion of the novel with a look at other American immigrant stories, such as a screening of the film Minari.

Stay tuned for more information regarding our discussion sessions.
