Every year, Esther Becker invites women to talk books and eat brunch.

This year, Congregation Chofetz Chayim and the Southwest Torah Institute's Women's Academy for Jewish Studies will host the presentation at 5150 E. Fifth Street 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 25. Registration begins at 10:45 a.m.

"Incredible! From the Bronx to Bnei Brak: The Amazing True Story of Rabbi Yossi Wallis" by Rabbi Nachman Seltzer is this year's book of choice. The story also integrates the experiences of Wallis' ancestors with the Spanish Inquisition and the Holocaust, according to press materials.

Seating is limited to 100 women. To register for the $36 event, including book and brunch, contact Becker at 591-7680. Learn more at tucsontorah.org.
