This month's selection: Rebecca Goldstein: Mazel
Mazel is a winner of the 1995 National Jewish Book Award. The book captures shtetl life in the 1920s.
It highlights the relationship of Sasha to her daughter and granddaughter, to her own mother and to her sisters.
The book begins as Sasha is about to become a great-grandmother but then carries us from the predominantly Jewish
suburb of Lipton, New Jersey, to the 1920s shtetl of Shluftchev, Galicia. Her long life reminds us of the history
common to many of our mothers and grandmothers born in Central Europe, who eventually immigrated to this country.
In addition, Sasha experienced the incredible transitions that have characterized our lives in twentieth century America.
May Selection: Amy Bloom: Away
This story follows the adventures of its heroine from the pogrom she survives to the painful search for the child she left there,
rumored to have survived.
The Book Discussion Group is a benefit of NCJW NY Section membership.
Non-members pay $5.00.

"Mendel's Daughter is a gritty eyewitness report on the great upheaval of eastern Europe in the 1930s and '40s, based on
Lemelman's recordings of his mother in 1989...with a combination of charcoal drawings and photographs, he creates a sense both of
an almost mythical time gone by and the very real lives that were snuffed out."-- Publisher's Weekly

Falling Man: A Novel by Don DeLillo
The defining moment of turn-of-the-21st-century America is
perfectly portrayed in National Book Award winner Don DeLillo's Falling Man. The book takes its title from the
electrifying photograph of the man who jumped or fell from the North Tower on 9/11. It also refers to a performance artist
who recreates the picture. The artist straps himself into a harness and in high visibility areas jumps from an elevated
structure, such as a railway overpass or a balcony, startling passersby as he hangs in the horrifying pose of the falling man.
Join us for great discussion, pleasant company, snacks and coffee
