“Gateway To The
Moon” is a new
novel written by
Mary Morris. Bern Rosenthal
and
Arlene Augenbraun will
jointly lead the discussion on
Wednesday, December 11,
at 2:00pm in the Coleridge
Lounge on the Arcade level.
“Gateway To The Moon” is
an intriguing book that spans
five hundred years of history
from 1942 to 1992. The narrative
traces the plight of the
Jewish population in Spain,
Portugal and the Americas
resulting from the Spanish
Inquisition, depicting one
thread of the Jewish Diaspora.
In addition, the story focuses
on a Converso Jew, Luis
de Torres, who sails with
Columbus as his interpreter
during the historical initial
voyage to the New World. The
book also deals with a contemporary
Latino Community in
the town of Estrada de la Luna
near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
“Gateway To The Moon” is
the English translation for the
town’s name.
Bern and Arlene have the
unique ability to pick stimulating
novels. This absorbing
historical novel will
generate a most stimulating
discussion.

The North Shore Towers
Investment Club had a
brunch/meeting on Sunday,
October 20, at 11am in The Towers
on the Green restaurant. We had a
full turnout plus seven guests.
Judy Lev, Vice President of
Morgan Stanley, was our guest
speaker. Her topic was “Don’t give
up, look ahead for the blue sky.”
The meeting was longer than usual
because of all the questions and
Judy answered them all. Year-todate
our club is up 17.8% (I guess
we’re doing something right!).
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday,
November 12, in the Coleridge
Lounge at 7:30 PM. All residents of
