METRO - NY - Sharon Chapter - September On The Same Page Book Club - 2025

Hadassah Sharon Chapter
September On The Same Page Book Club
Thursday, September 11 · 1:30- 3:30 pm
at a private home in New York, NY 10023 (Address provided upon registration)

Let's get together in person, in the usual Lincoln Center location, for eating and socializing starting at 1:30 pm with coffee/tea and delectable desserts followed by "sharing of thoughts" on House on Endless Waters by Emuna Elon, ending around 3:30 pm.

At the behest of his agent, renowned author Yoel Blum reluctantly agrees to visit his birthplace of Amsterdam to promote his books, despite promising his late mother that he would never return to that city. While touring the Jewish Historical Museum with his wife, Yoel stumbles upon footage portraying prewar Dutch Jewry and is astonished to see the youthful face of his beloved mother staring back at him, posing with his father, his older sister…and an infant he doesn’t recognize. This unsettling discovery launches him into a fervent search for the truth, shining a light on Amsterdam’s dark wartime history—the underground networks that hid Jewish children away from danger and those who betrayed their own for the sake of survival. The deeper into the past Yoel digs to tell the story of his life, the better he understands his mother’s silence, and the more urgent the question that has unconsciously haunted him for a lifetime—Who am I?—becomes. Part family mystery, part wartime drama, House on Endless Waters is an unforgettable meditation on identity, belonging, and the inextricable nature of past and present.
