SUMMARY:Temple Reads: What We Will Become: A Mother\, a Son\, and a Journey of Transformation by Mimi Lemay
DESCRIPTION:Temple Reads: What We Will Become: A Mother\, a Son\, and a Journey of Transformation \nby Mimi Lemay \nSunday\, March 16 at 7:00 PM via Zoom\n\nJoin Temple Reads\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/82882012097?pwd=ZSXwdfH8QiV2IqXUiBbAngUkz6ZJyb.1 \nMeeting ID: 828 8201 2097\nPasscode: 551009\n  \nA mother’s memoir of her transgender child’s odyssey\, and her journey outside the boundaries of the faith and culture that shaped her.\nFrom the age of two-and-a-half\, Jacob\, born “Em\,” adamantly told his family he was a boy. While his mother Mimi struggled to understand and come to terms with the fact that her child may be transgender\, she experienced a sense of déjà vu—the journey to uncover the source of her child’s inner turmoil unearthed ghosts from Mimi’s past and her own struggle to live an authentic life.    \n \nMimi was raised in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish family\, every aspect of her life dictated by ancient rules and her role as a woman largely preordained from cradle to grave. As a young woman\, Mimi wrestled with the demands of her faith and eventually made the painful decision to leave her religious community and the strict gender roles it upheld.\n \nHaving risen from the ashes of her former life\, Mimi was prepared to help her son forge a new one — at a time when there was little consensus on how best to help young transgender children. Dual narratives of faith and motherhood weave together to form a heartfelt portrait of an unforgettable family. Brimming with love and courage\, What We Will Become is a powerful testament to how painful events from the past can be redeemed to give us hope for the future. (Amazon)

SUMMARY:Temple Reads: Kantika by Elizabeth Graver
DESCRIPTION:Kantika\nby Elizabeth Graver \nSunday January 12 at 7:00 PM via Zoom \nJoin Temple Reads\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83712160257?pwd=PaRCHyAn4UKgurlgWg1rv0gT1OdYS3.1 \nMeeting ID: 837 1216 0257\nPasscode: 967104 \nA dazzling Sephardic multigenerational saga that moves from Istanbul to Barcelona\, Havana\, and New York\, exploring displacement\, endurance\, and family as home. \nA kaleidoscopic portrait of one family’s displacement across four countries\, Kantika—“song” in Ladino—follows the joys and losses of Rebecca Cohen\, feisty daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul. When the Cohens lose their wealth and are forced to move to Barcelona and start anew\, Rebecca fashions a life and self from what comes her way—a failed marriage\, the need to earn a living\, but also passion\, pleasure and motherhood. Moving from Spain to Cuba to New York for an arranged second marriage\, she faces her greatest challenge—her disabled stepdaughter\, Luna\, whose feistiness equals her own and whose challenges pit new family against old. \nExploring identity\, place and exile\, Kantika also reveals how the female body—in work\, art and love—serves as a site of both suffering and joy. A haunting\, inspiring meditation on the tenacity of women\, this lush\, lyrical novel from Elizabeth Graver celebrates the insistence on seizing beauty and grabbing hold of one’s one and only life.

SUMMARY:Temple Reads: Shanda\, A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy\, by Letty Cottin Pogrebin
DESCRIPTION:Shanda\, A Memoir of Shame and Secrecy\n by Letty Cottin Pogrebin\nAn intimate memoir from a founding editor of Ms. magazine who grew up in a Jewish immigrant family mired in secrets\, haunted by their dread of shame and stigma\, determined to hide their every imperfection—and in denial or despair when they couldn’t. \n“A frank and often amusing tabulation of well-kept family secrets… a story of high-stakes melodrama and surreptitious relations\, in which runaway brides\, false marriages\, lost children and other moral crises abound. But there is more here than mishegas.” —Jake Nevins\, New York Times\n“The richness of Pogrebin’s stories\, the complexity and beauty of her storytelling\, and her devastatingly honest soul-baring make Shanda a powerfully stunning piece of life and art.”\n—Mayim Bialik\, actor\, author\, neuroscientist\, and co-host of Jeopardy (from Amazon) \nJune 23\, 7:00 PM via Zoom\nJoin Temple Reads\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85821255091?pwd=3isPe6UkWZfMuZINkbYvrvvEIXakSW.1\nMeeting ID: 858 2125 5091\nPasscode: 416707

SUMMARY:Temple Reads: The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James Mc Bride
DESCRIPTION:The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store \nby James Mc Bride \n Sunday May 5 at 7:00 PM via Zoom \nIn 1972\, when workers in Pottstown\, Pennsylvania\, were digging the foundations for a new development\, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him\, it was Chona and Nate Timblin\, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill\, who worked together to keep the boy safe. \nAs these characters’ stories overlap and deepen\, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white\, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it\, McBride shows us that even in dark times\, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us. \nBringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store\, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.

SUMMARY:Temple Reads: The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende
DESCRIPTION:The Wind Knows My Name\nby Isabel Allende\nSunday\, February 18 at 7:00 PM via Zoom \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87237819206?pwd=MWhuYU94N210L3BTRnNNRjZBY3RQdz09 \nMeeting ID: 872 3781 9206\nPasscode: 353864 \nVienna\, 1938. Samuel Adler is five years old when his father disappears during Kristallnacht—the night his family loses everything. As her child’s safety becomes ever harder to guarantee\, Samuel’s mother secures a spot for him on a Kindertransport train out of Nazi-occupied Austria to England. He boards alone\, carrying nothing but a change of clothes and his violin. \nArizona\, 2019. Eight decades later\, Anita Díaz and her mother board another train\, fleeing looming danger in El Salvador and seeking refuge in the United States. But their arrival coincides with the new family separation policy\, and seven-year-old Anita finds herself alone at a camp in Nogales. She escapes her tenuous reality through her trips to Azabahar\, a magical world of the imagination. Meanwhile\, Selena Durán\, a young social worker\, enlists the help of a successful lawyer in hopes of tracking down Anita’s mother. \nIntertwining past and present\, The Wind Knows My Name tells the tale of these two unforgettable characters\, both in search of family and home. It is both a testament to the sacrifices that parents make and a love letter to the children who survive the most unfathomable dangers—and never stop dreaming. (Amazon)
