THE FIRST BOOK OF THE 2024/2025 SERIES

The Significant Jewish Book Club is beginning it’s 2024/2025 year with The Talented Mrs. Mandelbaum:The Rise and Fall of an Organized Crime Boss by Margalit Fox. It  paints a vivid portrait of Gilded Age New York—a city teeming with nefarious rogues, capitalist power brokers and Tammany Hall bigwigs, all straddling the line between underworld enterprise and “legitimate” commerce. Combining deep historical research with the narrative flair for which she is celebrated, Margalit Fox tells the unforgettable true story of a once-famous heroine whose life exemplifies America’s cherished rags-to-riches narrative while simultaneously upending it entirely.

The discussion will take place on Thursday, December 26, 2024 at 7 PM on Zoom.  We will celebrate Hanukkah together before the discussion. Even if you are unable to read the book, please take some time to learn with your CAH family.
