Havurah Book Club: The Ladies Auxiliary

  • Cathy Levin's Home (map)

Join the Havurah Book Club on Saturday, April 15th from 4 pm – 5:30 pm in reading and discussing The Ladies Auxiliary by Tova Mirvis. When free-spirited Batsheva moves into the close-knit Orthodox community of Memphis, Tennessee, the already precarious relationship between the Ladies Auxiliary and their teenage daughters is shaken to the core. In this extraordinary novel, Tova Mirvis takes us into the fascinating and insular world of the Memphis Orthodox Jews, one ripe with tradition and contradiction. Warm and wise, enchanting and funny, The Ladies Auxiliary brilliantly illuminates the timeless struggle between mothers and daughters, family and self, religious freedom and personal revelation, honoring the past and facing the future.
