Book Discussion: Kaaterskill Falls

6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Kaaterskill Falls by Allegra Goodman, Sunday, January 12, 6:30pm. In 1976 the tiny upstate New York town of Kaaterskill is bustling with summer residents in dark coats, fedoras and long modest dresses, disciples of Rav Elijah Kirshner. Elizabeth Shulman is a restless wife and mother of five daughters whose imagination transcends her cloistered community. Across the street Andras Melish comes to Kaaterskill for his two older sisters, but struggles to connect with his children and his beautiful, demanding wife. At the top of the hill, Rav Kirshner is nearing the end of his life. As he struggles to decide which of his sons should succeed him—the pious but stolid Isaiah or the brilliant but rebellious Jeremy—his followers wrestle with their future and their past. Available in paperback & Kindle.
