THOSE WHO GO DO NOT RETURN

On Tuesday, March 21st, NCJW BCS was honored to hear Shulem Deen, the prize-winning author of Those Who Go Do Not Return, speak about his life and the significant choices he made. Over 100 members and guests from the community were entranced by his presentation about growing up in, and ultimately leaving, the Skvever Hasidic community.
