December 5 Betsy Carter We Were Strangers Once On the eve of World War II, Egon Schneider escapes Germany and settling into the unfamiliar rhythms of upper Manhattan, finds solace among a tight-knit group of fellow immigrants, drawn together as much by their differences as by their memories of the world they left behind.

An exquisitely moving novel about friendship, love, and redemption, We Were Strangers Once offers keen insights into the 1930’s-era immigrant experience.

and

Carol Zoref Barren Island How does one remember a world that no longer exists? Barren Island is the historically based novel of immigrant families living and working on a forsaken sand bar where New York City’s animal carcasses were rendered into glue and grease from the mid1800s until the mid-1930s.

At its center is Marta Eisenstein, who recalls her life in vivid detail and with such heartbreaking honesty that what Marta and her island community experienced stays with the reader long after her tale is finished.

Set in present-day New York City, God of Carnage is the story of two married couples who meet for the first time shortly after their respective sons have a nasty schoolyard tangle. But any attempt at having a civilized discussion about whose child is responsible for the fight, and how the parents may have influenced such destructive behavior, quickly devolves into finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping around and throwing things. And that’s before they break out the rum!

The end of the war is rapidly approaching and Captain Franklin Payne and his men are anxious to get to Berlin. Along the way, they are detoured to a small village in the Bavarian Forest. But all is not what it seems in this tiny tranquil town. What starts as an overnight respite evolves into a examination of man’s indifference to the suffering of others, and the horrors of what human beings are capable of doing to other human beings.

Stephen Sondheim’s groundbreaking modern musical, is a mature, intelligent, and wildly funny look at relationships, vulnerability, and living life. On the night of his 35th birthday, Robert struggles to think of a wish to make as he blows out his birthday candles. The lone bachelor, surrounded by “those good and crazy people” —his married friends, Robert is uncertain whether he should simply be happy with his lot or whether he should wish for his own romantic partner. Over a series of dinner parties, first dates, and thoughtful conversations, Robert attempts to understand the pros and cons of marriage from his diverse and frequently hilarious friends, and begins to make sense of his own persistent bachelorhood.

MARCH 1-11

AT THE LEVIS JCC SANDLER CENTER The New York Times Critics’ Pick

This romantic comedy, circumstances both hilarious and tragic, brings together a young Israeli woman, who has little command of English, and a young American man, who has little command of romance. It all begins with Terrence, an inept DHL driver, who loses a critical package in a Virginia parking lot on a snowy Christmas Eve. In a panic, he telephones his Jewish childhood friend for help because the customer he is struggling to deal with is “talking Jewish.” The big reveal near the end establishes that this is a world in which things happen because they were meant to and everything is for the children, maybe even the consummation of long-lost loves.
