Headed to the Hamptons this summer? So is Beyond the Book!

Join our summer session with Ellen Witchell, where we’ll discuss The Safekeep, by Yael Van Der Wouden. A thrilling and twisted story of the longing, doubt, and obsession of two women sharing a house in the Dutch countryside during the summer of 1961, The Safekeep will take us deep into the lasting impacts of World War II and the darker aspects of our shared history.

You’ll also hear more about UJA’s critical work, including how we’re helping Israel heal and rebuild and combating surging antisemitism here in New York.

We ask that you please purchase and read the book in advance. 

This event welcomes donors who give a gift of $1,000 or more to UJA’s 2025 Annual Campaign.
