We are very pleased to announce that The Watergate Girl -- My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President is the selection for our annual book review program, jointly sponsored by NCJW Greater Long Beach & West Orange County and Sharon-Carmel Hadassah. The author, Jill Wine-Banks, will be our presenter. We are sure you will find this a very interesting and informative event. 

Jill Wine-Banks began her career as an organized crime prosecutor at the US Dept of Justice and became one of three assistant special prosecutors in the trial of President Nixon's top aides for obstruction of justice in the Watergate scandal. She served as general counsel of the US Army, solicitor general and deputy attorney general of the State of Illinois and COO of the American Bar Association. She was the first woman to hold these positions. While at the Pentagon, she worked to eliminate the Woman’s Army Corps and integrate women into the Regular Army as well as into West Point and basic training. More recently Ms. Wine-Banks was appointed by the Secretary of Defense to the Judicial Proceedings Panel’s Subcommittee on Sexual Assault in the Military, where she served 2014-2017. She is currently an MSNBC legal analyst appearing regularly on the network's prime time shows.

Join us for our Fourth Thursday Movie Night discussion in January. In the 2016 movie "The Women’s Balcony," an Orthodox community attempts to cope with a new rabbi who is more rigid than the community. When he demands changes, the women rebel. The resulting saga elicits laughter from the audience while, at the same time, raising the question of what constitutes faith. Watch the movie on your own (available for a nominal fee on YouTube, Amazon Prime, and others), then come to share your thoughts!
