**Class Dates – Monthly : July 10; August 21; September 18**
**Wednesday’s** **11 am – 12:15 am**
Read and discuss popular fiction with Jewish content or by contemporary Jewish
authors. This series of books features three award winning male novelists
tackling stories from an Israeli terrorist hunter turned art restorer to an
American student uncovering centuries-old history from Old Cairo to conversos
in King Ferdinand’s court during the Spanish Inquisition.

**July:** ** _The Kill Artist_** by Daniel Silva, returning to where it all
started in this debut thriller of the Gabriel Allon epic, as Detroit prepares
to welcome the author on July 16 for the release of his latest novel in the
series.

**August:** ** _Leaving Eastern Parkway_** by Matthew Daub, this fast-paced
coming of age novel about teen Zev Altshul entering a world in which he is
unprepared to live, depicts the joys and failings of insular religious culture
through a character dealing with trauma and dramatic change.

**September:** ** _By Fire, By Water_** by Mitchell James Kaplan, this
dramatic story examines the crisis of faith at the heart of the Spanish
Inquisition-the irresolvable conflict that rages within the conversos torn
between the religion they left behind and the conversion meant to ensure their
safety.
