Jewish women gather for annual book brunch

For the last seven or eight years, Esther Becker has organized a book brunch, bringing together up to 100 women. This year at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, the women will discuss the book "A World After This: A Memoir of Loss and Redemption" by Lola Lieber, who recounts her experience with the Holocaust and the strength she found in her marriage and faith.

"I hope that people will take away that there is room for growth and always room to connect to God, no matter what situation we're in," says Becker, whose husband is the congregation's Rabbi Israel Becker. "Even in adversity, you can find a glimmer of hope and connection to him."

Up to 100 women may register by emailing Esther Becker at ewbecker@me.com or at 10:45 a.m. Sunday before the event begins. Space is limited. The book and brunch costs $25.
