FREE BOOK DISCUSSION ON ZOOM
The Qesher Book Club, a group dedicated to promoting connection and expanding education about Jewish culture across the globe, is hosting a special virtual event inspired by Ruth Behar’s book, Letters From Cuba. In this unique discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to meet Ruth Behar herself as she discusses her new book. In the second half of the event, Project Por Amor (Project for Love) founder, Sage Lewis, will join Ruth to share details about her novel that inspired a future travel experience to meet the Jewish Community in Cuba on a Cuba Jewish Literary tour taking place May 15-21, 2025.
