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.
Join us on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, when we discuss The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson. The House of Eve was a nominee for Readers’ Favorite Historical Fiction in the 2023 Goodreads Choice Awards.
1950s Philadelphia: fifteen-year-old Ruby Pearsall is on track to becoming the first in her family to attend college, despite having a mother more interested in keeping a man than raising a daughter. But a taboo love affair threatens to pull her back down into the poverty and desperation that has been passed on to her like a birthright.
Eleanor Quarles arrives in Washington, DC, with ambition and secrets. When she meets the handsome William Pride at Howard University, they fall madly in love. But William hails from one of DC’s elite wealthy Black families, and his parents don’t let just anyone into their fold. Eleanor hopes that a baby will make her finally feel at home in William’s family and grant her the life she’s been searching for. But having a baby—and fitting in—is easier said than done.
With their stories colliding in the most unexpected of ways, Ruby and Eleanor will both make decisions that shape the trajectory of their lives.
For your advance planning, our book for Tuesday, May 26 is In The Family Way by Laney Katz Becker.

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.
