Rabbi Rachel Esserman will review and discuss three books during her annual Book Talk presented by Sisterhood. This year's books are:
* "Operation Bethlehem" by Yariv Invar, a thriller that won the National Jewish Book Hebrew Fiction in Translation Jane Weitzman Award in 2023.
* "Long Island Compromise" by Taffy Brodesser-Akner. Her first novel, "Fleishman is in Trouble," was a big hit and was turned into a TV series. Her second novel looks at how an American family tries to overcome a trauma that took place decades before. It also focuses on Jewish American life.
* "Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening," a work of nonfiction by Elizabeth Rosner. The book reflects on growing up in a home where six languages were spoken. It contains personal reflections, along with scientific discussion on the art of listening.
