Our Tuesday 8am "Nosh and Drash" post-minyan breakfast and study group is beginning a new book on June 13th, and you're all invited (whether or not you were up at 7am for minyan!)

The book is Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg's On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. Full blurb is below - this book came out last year and was an instant must-read before the High Holidays. Link to the Kindle version is here, and it's available in hardcopy and audiobook as well. 

In the past, we've read short sections of books out loud together, but in order to cover more ground and have a more comprehensive conversation, we're asking you to read the chapter before each date so we can discuss that chapter on that date.
