Did you ever put down a book you were reading and wish you could discuss it with the author or an expert? Now you can.The Jewish Heritage Online Magazine is proud to announce the Jewish Reading Group Online (JRGO, pronounced "jargo"). Every few months, JRGO will offer to Jewish reading groups around the world a specially chosen book at substantial discounts, along with a reading guide from the publisher.
Local reading groups will discuss the book at their weekly/monthly meeting.

Best of all, the author or an expert on the book's subject matter will participate in the bulletin board discussion, commenting, responding to questions and providing insights into the book.
The first book to be featured is The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness, by Simon Wiesenthal.
