The Slant on the Slope, the much enjoyed newsletter from the Community Bookstore has been revived. YAY. It is delivered via email now and can be downloaded in PDF format. Join their Yahoo group: communitybookstore@yahoogroups.com or go into the store and sign up for the newsletter so you can get all the Community Bookstores news.
Okey-Dokey! Here’s our new idea. We’re resurrecting the Slant,
and attaching it to email as a pdf. Does this work for you? We think
it will eliminate reading lots of lengthy-lengthy emails (and be
prettier, too), plus there will be paper versions available in the
store for those *non* emailing-types. (Or you, if you’d rather . . .
at least you’ll know it’s there).
A Book Club of (and for?) the Unappreciated, which will meet third Wednesday of the month at 7:30 p.m.

The Heavyweights of Jewish Philosophy on Tour at the Community Bookstore meets Tuesday nights at 9 p.m (open to negotiation).

The reading list includes: Buber, Arendt, Maimonedes, Scholem, Rozenzweig and MORE. If you are interested speak to Josh joshua.milstein@gmail.com.
