Book Discussion: “Goyhood” by Reuven Fenton

Monday, May 5 @ 10:30 am 12:00 pm

Goyhood is a brilliant debut about a devoutly Orthodox Jewish man who discovers in middle age that he’s not, in fact, Jewish, and embarks on a remarkable road trip to come to grips with his fate. Funny, poignant, and revelatory while plumbing the emotional depths of the relationship between estranged brothers, Goyhood examines what happens when one becomes unmoored from a comfortable, spiritual existence and must decide whether coincidence is in fact destiny.

Goyhood is one of the 2025 “One bay One Book” chosen by Jewish Community Library. One Bay One Book is a year-long conversation connecting Bay Area readers through discussions and events centered around selected current Jewish literature and its themes.
