Short Story Discussions with Hadassah Friends
Second Friday of Each Month at 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.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, when we discuss The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern by Lynda Cohen Loigman. The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern was a nominee in the Goodreads Choice Awards for Readers’ Favorite Historical Fiction (2024).
On the cusp of turning eighty, newly retired pharmacist Augusta Stern is adrift. When she relocates to Rallentando Springs—an active senior community in southern Florida—she unexpectedly crosses paths with Irving Rivkin, the delivery boy from her father’s old pharmacy—and the man who broke her heart sixty years earlier.
Now, confronted with Irving, Augusta is still haunted by the mistakes of her past. What happened all those years ago and how did her plan go so spectacularly wrong? Did Irving ever truly love her or was he simply playing a part? And can Augusta reclaim the magic of her youth before it’s too late?
For your advance planning, our book for Tuesday, April 28 is The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson.
Hadassah Charlotte Metro’s BookTalk book club 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!

Upcoming Events
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.
