Retreat Readings
Retreat Readings
On Saturday afternoon, one of the sessions will be a retreat-style book club, led by Diane Cole and Nancy Ludmerer. Diane and Nancy will be discussing three short-short stories – ranging in length from 2 to 5 pages – which find their central characters at different points in life (click for readings):
- Esther Kreitman’s “The New World” (birth)
- Stuart Dybek’s “Brisket” (young adulthood);
- Ben Loory’s “The Candelabra” (old age).
We were thinking that you might like to read these stories in advance of the retreat. Regardless of whether you choose to participate in the book club session, these pieces might put you in the mood for reflection and contemplation of “The Time is Now’ (and might be a conversation starter at some point over the weekend).

welcome to the sAJ community
We’re a community that believes it’s possible to lead a 21st-century life that is deeply rooted in both Jewish tradition and contemporary civilization. Judaism helps us find meaning and inspiration as we seek to lead lives committed to spiritual growth, social justice, and building community. We welcome the richness that diversity brings to this community, where we learn about, struggle with, and even question our Judaism as we continue to "reconstruct" it for our times.
