Please note our liberal attendance policy that takes into consideration your busy lives. We value your interest and membership in the Beth Tzedec Book and Film Club, yet we understand that personal schedules can often change. As we feel that our members should not be penalized for missing a review, we have arranged that any paid- up member who must miss a review may send a friend in his or her place or may bring a friend to the next review session.
