As we prepare for the High Holiday season, we invite you to participate in the Reads of Awe Bingo Project that encourages everyone to delve into Jewish books. We’re sharing books that can be used for some of the categories, including authors who have visited SJJCC in the past, and those that will be joining us for the 2025-2026 season!
If you play along on Instagram, share the hashtags #ReadsOfAwe and #SJJCC so we can find your posts!
