HAPPENINGS AT HABONIM

Book Club:Tuesday, October 27, 7-9 pm
 
We're reading A Backpack, a Bear, and Eight Crates of Vodka: A Memoir, by Lev Golinkin
 
We have a special guest joining us for this upcoming book club -- Lev Golinkin, the author!
 
His memoir captures what it felt like for him to leave the Soviet Union decades ago and become a refugee in the United States. It’s lighthearted and heartwarming. He ties it into his understanding of all refugees facing the similar circumstances. Recommended by Joy.
 
There’s still time to read the book before the meeting on Oct 27th, 7pm.  This meeting is open to all, so please feel free to invite your friends and family.  It’s a special honor to have Lev with us. Gather your questions to pose to the author!
 
Lev will also share his more recent focus - writing articles on issues of our day including White Supremacy and anti-semitism.  Google him for links to his articles in the Washington Post.
