A Book Club in Tel Aviv

EVE’s Book Club exists, first and foremost, to bring reading back into your life. And if it never left, to help you experience it in a completely new way: meeting people outside your usual circles, discussing life through literature, and exploring new perspectives within a group that grows closer with every gathering.

When was the last time you talked with someone about a book?

The concept is simple: a small group reading together, apart. Over the course of six months, we read a book a month, coming together at the end of each month for an evening in a beautiful Tel Aviv space. Over wine and a shared table, we discuss relationships, change, and the many states of matter our lives pass through.

The evenings are led by me, Elrie Carmon: writer, literary editor, and book critic for Haaretz. The club was born as a place for women, and it still is, but once men started knocking on the door, a second group opened, for men and women alike.

I invite you to join a literary journey and discover that reading is a privilege, not a chore.

EVE'S GROUP

The first woman wasn’t a sinner
but a seeker of knowledge.

Six years of working in literature and publishing led me here, and I am very, very excited that you want to be part of it.

As a child I hated reading books, and only in my twenties did I find an anchor in prose. Finishing a book was a triumph for me and a source of pride, a kind of confidence that still shapes every step I take.

So when did you last manage to finish a book? And more to the point, how does it feel when you do?

The women’s group is a small, secret group of women. Each time we finish a book, we meet for an evening that is, first of all, fun and full of talk. We talk about life through literature, and about literature itself, over excellent wine and a few other indulgences. We meet in Tel Aviv once a month at 20:30, and the first meeting is on Sunday, 29.11. The exact location will be sent to those who sign up (dates may change).

The books were chosen especially for the group: not necessarily demanding in their language (but no Fifty Shades of Grey either), and always raising questions. Some are light, some more complex. The program may change before the first meeting, but it gives an accurate idea of what we will read: alongside familiar titles, you will find books that have probably not reached you yet.

The group is for women only, and places are limited. Membership is paid, and full details will be sent to anyone interested. Signing up on the site is free and commits you to nothing.

See you soon,

ADAM AND EVE'S GROUP

A group for men and women

Six years of working in literature and publishing led me here, and I am very excited that you want to be part of it.

So when did you last manage to finish a book? And more to the point, how did it feel?

The group meets in person, once a month, in a beautiful space in Tel Aviv. Each time we finish a book, we meet for an evening that is, first of all, fun. We talk about life through literature (and about literature itself), over excellent wine and good food.

We meet in Tel Aviv once a month at 20:30, and the first meeting is on Wednesday, 25.11. The exact location will be sent to those who sign up (dates may change).

The books were chosen especially for the group. They are not necessarily demanding in their language, but they are far from fast-fashion fiction: they always make you think. Some are light, some more complex. The program may change a little before the first meeting, but it gives an accurate sense of the reading: alongside familiar titles, you will find books that probably would not have reached you otherwise.

Places in the group are limited, and only a few are left for the next round. Membership is paid, and full details will be sent right away to anyone interested. Signing up on the site is, of course, free and commits you to nothing.

See you soon,
Elrie
