The High Holidays are the most important festivals of the Jewish year, and all Jews have their own memories of these special days. It’s a time to remember, a time to be with families, and a time to tell stories about past generations. And you don’t need to be Jewish to appreciate this, because the 21st century is a much smaller world, with many different faiths coming together. High Holiday Stories is filled with 101 heartfelt holiday remembrances, from famous people, and some only known in their own circle of family and friends. They recount varied Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur experiences, from observing the holiday in the Colorado Rockies to Army bases in Iraq, even online. The stories come from people of all ages, all professions, from New York to California, New Zealand to England. | 13

The As the Worm Turns Book Discussion Group will discuss Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré (Scribner, $16). A modern masterpiece in which le Carré expertly creates a total vision of a secret world, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy begins George Smiley's chess match of wills and wits with Karla, his Soviet counterpart. It is now beyond doubt that a mole, implanted decades ago by Moscow Centre, has burrowed his way into the highest echelons of British Intelligence. His treachery has already blown some of its most vital operations and its best networks. It is clear that the double agent is one of its own. George Smiley is assigned to identify him. And once identified, the traitor must be destroyed. Lee Myers will facilitate the discussion. Space is limited, so please call to reserve your place. | 17
