Thursday, June 8, 7:30-9:00 pm via Zoom. The Sinai Book Club will discuss "The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon" by Richard Zimler. Steve Dombro will moderate. RSVP to Marcia Klein to get the Zoom link: bookclub@sinai-sj.org.

A riveting literary murder mystery, it is also a harrowing picture of the persecution of 16th-century Jews and, in passing, an atmospheric introduction to the hermetic Jewish tradition of Kabbalah. A many-layered narrative in which a suitably complex cast of characters plays a dangerous game with fate.
