The Ministry of Special Cases

Tuesday, January 13 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm Each Jewish Book Club session features a lively discussion led by the local expert who recommended that session’s thought-provoking title. Nathan Englander’s powerful debut novel brilliantly captures the grief of a nation through the story of one family’s struggles in Argentina’s Dirty War. Booklist calls The Ministry of Special Cases, “poignant, powerful, political, and personal.” Victor Mirelman, Rabbi of West Suburban Temple Har Zion and a leading expert in the history of Jews in Argentina, leads the discussion. Jewish Book Club tickets are $25 | $20 for Spertus members.
