Etz Bookworms
Sunday, July 7, 2019 • 4 Tammuz 5779
4:30 PM - 6:00 PMThe Bookworms will meet to discuss Nathan Englander's hilarious, irreverent Kaddish.com.
Larry is the secular son in a family of Orthodox Brooklyn Jews. When his father dies, it's his responsibility to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for 11 months. To the horror and dismay of his sister, Larry refuses - imperiling the fate of his father's soul. To appease her, Larry hatches an ingenious if cynical plan, hiring a stranger through a website called kaddish.com to recite the prayer and shepherd his father's soul safely to rest.
