Ahavat Olam's next Beyond The Book Club meeting will be Thursday, August 12th. Come meet a warm group of people who love to read. We will discuss John Grisham's "Sooley". In the summer of his seventeenth year, Sam­uel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basket­ball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quick­ness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed. During the tournament, Samuel receives dev­astating news from home.

Gripping and moving, Sooley showcases John Grisham's unparalleled storytelling powers in a whole new light. This is Grisham at the top of his game. Ahavat Olam Book Club is for temple members only, but there is no charge to sit in 1 time. For information, please call Kim 305 412-4240.
