SZ Sisterhood Book Club
Looking for a book club? Join us monthly in the Ruth Karpman Memorial Library! Open to all SZ Sisterhood members, our book club’s conversations provide an opportunity to meet and kibbitz while discussing a good book for pleasure, to learn more about Jewish history, Israel, contemporary
Jewish
life,
and
timely
themes. Look out for a whole new roster of books in September!

Special Book Presentation The Shaare Zedek sisterhood book club invites one and all to our season-ending meeting on Monday, May 8 at 1 PM. We will celebrate the recent publication of Norm Spatz’s novel, Shul for Scandal. He will be present to talk about the creation of his book and read excerpts from it. Copies will be available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served. Join us for a wonderful afternoon and welcome to spring. Born in New Jersey, Norm Spatz arrived in Montreal in the early part of the Seventies. Norm spent a decade and a half working in Montreal as an architect specializing in residential renovation. In 1989 he became a CÉGEP teacher. Norm developed walking tours, notably one focusing on the history of neighbourhoods in the west central districts of Montreal which currently have large Jewish populations. Retired in 2015, Norm now has time for other activities such as writing novels including ‘Training for Trust’, ‘Greed and Opportunity’ and “Shul for Scandal’.
