Get a head-start on your challenge by trying out the first chapter of a book at our Silent Reading Party. Comfy seating, books, and refreshments available!
Reads of Awe is a reading challenge adapted from Zoe Kaplan's Reads of Awe Project, and sponsored by the Asbell Center for Jewish Life, Judaic Studies Department, and the Waidner-Spahr Library. The Jewish High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, are an important season of celebration, renewal, and forgiveness for Jews around the world. Everyone is invited to honor this season and learn by reading from a diverse collection of Jewish writing.
Read one or more books throughout the challenge to be entered to win $50 in Love Bucks (redeemable at various local businesses).
