MJM + Hadassah + Rimon Book Group —  May

Join the MJM + Hadassah + Rimon Book Group for an afternoon of lively conversation, connection, and storytelling as we explore the beautiful and fascinating world of Jewish weddings across cultures and continents.This month, we’ll be discussing 100 Jewish Brides: Stories from Around the World, a rich collection of personal stories and photographs celebrating Jewish brides across the globe. From Morocco to Mexico, Ethiopia to Eastern Europe, these stories reveal the many ways Jewish traditions are honored, adapted, and joyfully lived. And here’s the best part: you do not have to have read the book to join us.
Seriously. Come for the conversation, the community, and the chance to learn something new. Our book group is known for thoughtful discussion, plenty of laughter, and the kind of community that keeps people coming back month after month. A Fun Twist for This Gathering. In the spirit of the book, we invite you to:

• Bring a wedding photo — your own, a parent’s or grandparent’s, or one from a memorable wedding you attended
  OR
• Come ready to share a funny, touching, or unforgettable wedding story

(No pressure, of course — listening and schmoozing are always perfectly acceptable options!)We’ll gather in the Roastery Room at Coffee by Design, a cozy and welcoming space that has become a beloved home for our book group conversations. Newcomers are always welcome. Bring a friend, a neighbor, or anyone who enjoys books, conversation, and good company. Registration is free but required.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
