One Book, One Jewish Community
A New Center for Jewish Education (CUE)
initiative inspires the Community to Come
Together
A great book fosters
eonversations and lays
the foundation for a
memorable eommunity
experienee. Those are
the main objeetives
driving CJE’s new ini
tiative, “One Book,
One Jewish Commu
nity.”
“The idea for the
program,” says Debby Bloek, CJE
Program Coordinator, “eame from
a plaee of wanting to bring the
eommunity together around learn
ing.” With its myriad eonneetions
to Jewish organizations that in-
elude sehools and synagogues,
CJE is the ideal ineubator for
“One Book, One Jewish Commu
nity.” Initiating both formal and
informal book gatherings refleets
CJE’s larger strategy of expanding
adult learning. “One Book, One
Jewish Community” also repre
sents a eoneerted effort to offer
learning opportunities that are
more eondueive to busy sehed-
ules. With “One Book, One Jew
ish Community,” people ean read
the book in their homes, with their
Mary Glickman
friends, online, or
even listen to the book
on the go.
The program’s in
augural seleetion is
Home in the Morning
by Mary Gliekman.
The novel follows a
young Jewish man
growing up in the
south, as he tries to
find his plaee in the Civil Rights
Movement while balaneing his
Jewish family’s imperative to not
stand out in the segregated south.
The novel is eertain to inspire
deep and animated diseussions
about subjeets that taekle blaek-
white relationships. Southern Jew
ish eulture, and the Civil Rights
Movement.
CJE will offer online resourees
about the book and events leading
up to a eulminating program fea
turing Mary Gliekman in Char
lotte on Sunday, Deeember 3.
Debby Bloek antieipates that
“One Book, One Jewish Commu
nity” will beeome an annual
event. “We’re even open to the
possibility of pieking more than
one book a year in different gen
res,” she says. “We’re hoping to
inerease our outreaeh through lit
erary eonversations and literary
events.”
Copies of Home in the Morning
will be available in the Levine-
Skint Judaie Library to borrow
and to purehase. ^
CORRECTION
On page 8 of the August issue, the Hebrew Cemetery story’s number of
Jews in Charlotte in 1867 should have been “more than 50.”
