One Book, One Jewish Community:
Expioring Jewish History in the
South through Fiction
Featuring Author Mary Glickman, Thursday,
December 7, 7 PM
Our Jewish ancestors have a
long and rich history in the South
ern United States. Dating back as
early as the mid- 1700s, the South
had two established synagogues.
Since the inception of the United
States as independent nation, the
Southern Jewish community had a
different American experience
than the Northern Jewish commu
nity, which contributed to varying
attitudes towards the Civil Rights
Movement.
The differences between North
ern and Southern Jews during the
tumultuous 1960s are vividly por
trayed in the novel Home in the
Morning, the book selection of the
CJE’s premier One Book, One
Jewish Community. Author, Mary
Glickman, will share her story
with our community on Thursday,
December 7 at 7 PM in the Sam
Lemer Center for Cultural Arts in
Shalom Park.
Mary Glickman is the author of
three books: Home in the Morn
ing, which has been optioned for
film; One More River, a 2011 Na
tional Jewish Book Award Finalist
and 2012 WLCJ Oprah Selection;
and her most recent. Marching to
Zion, published in 2013. Her
books, set in the South throughout
the 20th century, explore the inter
section of the Southern Jewish
Experience, the Civil Rights
Movement, and the confluence of
Jewish and African American
cultures.
We encourage our entire com
munity to read Glickman’s book
and then join the CJE on Decem
ber 7 for an enlightening discus
sion. This event is free and open
to all, however, RSVP is re
quested. For more information or
