Short Story Discussions with Hadassah Friends
June 13, 11:45AM
Please join us on the second Friday of each month at 11:45AM for a friendly discussion of a selected story from the book Frankly Feminist.
Email Amalia at the link below to be included on the Zoom Link email. It will be mailed to interested members on the Wednesday before the meeting.
The book will be available in the Levin-Sklut library, but Amazon and other bookstores have it in a print format. The stories create a powerful portrait of Jewish women's experiences.
This book represents the best Jewish feminist fiction published
in Lilith magazine since 1976. All stories are written by Jewish women from around the globe from all levels of religiosity. You will enjoy it!
Newcomers are welcome even if they have not read the story.

Who Loves You Best by Marilyn Simon Rothstein
Hadassah BookTalk will meet on Tuesday, June 24 at 7pm on Zoom to discuss Who Loves You Best? by Marilyn Simon Rothstein. Ms. Rothstein will be joining us!
A woman drops everything to spend more time with her grandchild, only to discover new truths about herself. A humorous, heartfelt, feel-good novel.
For Jodi Wexler, a Florida doctor with a flourishing practice, only one thing’s missing -- the chance to spend more time getting to know her eight-year-old granddaughter, Macallan.
When Jodi’s restauranteur daughter asks her to watch Macallan in the Berkshires while she takes care of some business out of town, Jodi can’t say yes fast enough. Neither Jodi’s podiatric patients nor her just-fired, suddenly retired husband can keep her away. But when Jodi arrives, she discovers she’s not the only grandma at Lisa’s house. Lisa’s mother-in-law, Di—a hard-nosed real estate agent—has moved into the house. What’s more, there’s Grannie Annie, the twenty-seven-year-old girlfriend of Lisa’s oddball father-in-law. They’re not the only surprises. Lisa’s marriage is faltering even as her new restaurant is taking off.
As the competition for Macallan’s attention among the three “grandmas” increases, Lisa drops a bomb about her life that changes everything. Under pressure, and determined to help her daughter, Jodi must choose her next step. Her decision surprises everyone—Jodi, most of all.
For your advance planning, our book for Tuesday, July 22 is Button Man by Andrew Gross.
Hadassah Charlotte Metro’s BookTalk book club usually meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 7pm. Join us on Zoom and share your opinions about the month’s book. If you would like to attend or have questions, contact Karen or Aileen.
Happy reading!

About 15 years ago, some Hadassah ladies were looking for good ideas for a membership activity. They came up with making frozen prepared meals for JFS clients. We are still making those meals today. Each pantry day, food is collected from members and assembled into meals. 120-150 meals are made a month. Special holiday meals are prepared for Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, Passover and Thanksgiving. The clients are so appreciative. This provides a very unique opportunity for JFS to give their clients a complete meals.
If you would like to get involved in this mitzvah, you can help in many ways. Prepare food, donate supplies (sandwich and gallon sized bags), meal containers, gift cards to grocery stores, money donations, etc.
Please email June Hirschmann for further information.
