Book Club “People Love Dead Jews: Reports From a Haunted Present” by Dara Horn.
Book Club “People Love Dead Jews: Reports From a Haunted Present” by Dara Horn.
Mon, September 12, 2022 @ 07:00 PM

Throughout, she challenges us to confront the reasons why there might be so much fascination with Jewish deaths, and so little respect for Jewish lives unfolding in the present. Click Here
