JCC Reads

JCC Reads is a new signature program from JCC Association. Join other JCCs across the continent in reading the same books each year, uniting JCC readers into one large reading group. To foster this movement towards reading as a community, we have gathered useful information that you can use to raise your local reading group to another level. Visit JCC Resources to download the following JCC Read materials:

• summaries of the book
• questions for discussion
• video clips of the author
• author interviews
• podcasts
• general information about the subject
• We will be providing a selection of great book titles, and collecting and sharing information for JCCs to use annually.

2011-2012 selections include:

The Septembers of Shiraz by Dalia Sofer
The Jump Artist by Austin Ratner

Last year’s selections include:

All Other Nights by Dara Horn
Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter by Peter Manseau
Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay
Yellow Wind by David Grossman
The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman
