Rabbi Gartenberg will offer his first community learning since returning to Seattle in memory of his beloved father, Allan Gartenberg, who led popular short story circles in West Los Angeles until his death in December 2015. As Rabbi Gartenberg finishes his year of mourning for his father he will offer a mini short story circle consisting of some of his favorite Jewish short stories. The four stories are
Relief of Unbearable Urges by Nathan Englander
The Conversion of the Jews by Philip Roth
The Lady and the Pedler by Shmuel Yosef Agnon
The Gilgul of Park Avenue by Nathan Englander
