Book: Prison Minyan by Jonathan Stone
Via Zoom.
Led by Ira Tane

Here’s a brief intro to the book:
Welcome to America's only Jewish prison . . . rugelach, blintzes, and a quest for vengeance from the highest tier of the US government The scene is Otisville Prison, upstate New York. A crew of fraudsters, tax evaders, trigamists, and forgers discuss matters of right and wrong in a Talmudic study and prayer group, or "minyan," led by a rabbi who's a fellow convict. As the only prison in the federal system with a kosher deli, Otisville is the penitentiary of choice for white-collar Jewish offenders, many of whom secretly like the place. Jonathan Stone brings the sensibility of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth to the post-truth era in a sharply comic novel that is also wise, profound, and deeply moral.
