TBJ Programs & Classes
Sisterhood Book Club – Thursday, March 12 at 1:00pm. Discussion of the book Queen Esther by John Irving. Esther Nacht is born in Vienna in 1905. Her father dies on board the ship to Portland, Maine; her mother is murdered by anti-Semites in Portland. Dr. Larch knows it won’t be easy to find a Jewish family to adopt Esther. When Esther is 14, Dr. Larch meets the Winslows, a New England family with a history of providing foster care for unadopted orphans. The Winslows aren’t Jewish, but they despise anti-Semitism. Esther’s gratitude for the Winslows is unending. Queen Esther is not just a story of survival but a profound exploration of identity, belonging, and the enduring impact of history on our lives.
