Why do we have a waiting list for our Book group, The Litwits? Two reasons:1) Beverly Rosen is our facilitator and 2) a bright, engaged group of women who, under Bev’s guidance, has learned to “read between the lines” and discover the layers of meaning in the works we read. Bev’s insights and expertise motivate us to “see” beyond the obvious and each discussion is enlightening and rewarding. Bev also has the magic touch that makes us feel comfortable about expressing our ideas and opinions in a mutually respectful way. Her passion for literature is contagious, and we are so fortunate to have this talented and inspirational woman as our book group leader.

Insightful and entertaining are the words that come to mind when I attend a program presented by Beverly Rosen. She has a talent with words that creates an excitement in the listener’s mind. Whether it’s a book, play or movie review, the enthusiasm that Bev generates is palpable. Over the years, I have always looked forward to attending her lively and informative presentations.

Our congregation has had the pleasure of welcoming Beverly Rosen to our synagogue every year since 2001, and every year we are enchanted by her. Speaking without notes, with intimate recall of story lines and character development, she enthralls and educates about the author, the motivation to write the book, and what lessons we might draw from it.
Bev speaks with such passion about the text that it feels as if she has ‘lived’ the story herself! She engages us in dialogue, eager to know what readers think about the book’s themes and how they relate to our lives. At the end of the evening, those who did not read the book before she arrived – though many have done so in anticipation of her visit – are all the more inclined to do so.
Bev Rosen is a treasure in our midst, and our synagogue’s program year would not be complete without her.
