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, July 28, 2026, when we discuss Kills Well with Others by Deanna Raybourn.
After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie, 4 women assassins who are senior in both status and age, are called back into action. They have enjoyed their rest, but the lack of excitement is starting to chafe as they get the itch to get back in the game. When they receive a call from Naomi Ndiaye, head of the elite assassin organization known as “the Museum”, they are ready to tackle the greatest challenge of their careers.
Someone on the inside has compiled and leaked a list of important kills committed by Museum agents, all of them connected to an Eastern European gangster who rules her business empire with an iron fist and plays puppetmaster in international affairs. Naomi is convinced this criminal queen is bent upon revenge, killing off the agents who attempted to thwart her, and the aging quartet of killers is next.
Together the foursome embarks on a wild ride across the globe on the double mission of rooting out the Museum’s mole and hunting down the gangster and her assassin. But their nemesis is unlike any they’ve faced before, and it will take all their experience and a whole lot of luck to get out of this mission alive.
For your advance planning, our book for Tuesday, August 25 is Go On Pretending by Alina Adams.
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!

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.
