Rabbi Kraft Memorial Book Club

Rabbi Kraft Memorial Book Club, 19:30
on Zoom

We will be discussing ‘The Book of R’ by Lawrence Cohen 

A fracas over a Hebrew name necklace sets off a chain of events leading eighteen year old Becca Burns to seek refuge with distant relations in Israel – only to discover that her hosts, Hannah and Nahum Yerushalmi, harbour religious expectations that they have neglected to spell out in detail. Swallowing her pride, Becca extends her projected stay of nine months to three years – a decision which will have unforeseen consequences. On her return to the UK, Becca has a fleeting encounter with fellow student Joe Pinsker at a bruising rugby match. Becca confesses that their subsequent ‘chance’ meeting is, in fact, a setup, leaving Joe uncertain as to why Becca has made a beeline for him. But then Joe, generous in love, poor in pocket, is way too credulous for his own good. Two years later, an unexpected phone call will leave four lives in turmoil.
