This summer, Books of Jewish Interest returns with a thoughtful lineup of readings centered on a theme that has shaped Jewish history and identity for generations: the search for a homeland. The first book of the summer is Melting Point, by Rachel Cockerell. In this richly researched book, Cockerell draws on newspaper accounts, letters, memoirs, speeches, documents, and interviews to trace the development of the Zionist movement and the early ideas that contributed to the founding of today’s Jewish state.

We meet simultaneously in person at the Bethlehem Public Library and on Zoom. For more information, please visit our website.
