February 23 - Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

On Tuesday, February 23 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM, the Heschel Book Group will discuss Jonathan Safran Foer's controversial novel, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. The novel centers on 9-year-old whiz kid Oskar Schell, whose father, Thomas Schell, dies on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Heschel Book Group is open to faculty and staff, parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends of the Abraham Joshua Heschel Day School. Come and share your insights or just listen to the discussion. It is an informal group, and we encourage you to come. You do not need to make each meeting, nor do you even have to finish the book in time for the group.

If you plan to attend, please email debra_schaffer@ajhds.com

The following dates have been reserved for future book groups:
Tuesday, April, 13 and Tuesday, June, 1. We will meet in Lainer Library at Heschel from 7:00 - 9:00 pm.
