Congregation B’nai Israel, Rumson, has announced that Peter Sagal, the host of National Public Radio’s “Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me,” will moderate a discussion about “The Plot Against America” by Philip Roth on Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. as part of a “Congregation Read.”
Earlier this year, HBO broadcast a six-part miniseries adaptation of “The Plot Against America.” Sagal will moderate a discussion about the novel, the miniseries, the history on which both are based, and its relation to the nation’s current moment, according to a press release.
Sagal is the brother of Congregation B’nai Israel’s rabbi, Doug Sagal. The event is free and open to the public. It will be held on Zoom and advance registration is required in order
to get the Zoom link by email prior to the start of the event. Find the registration link at cbirumson.org on the Event page. It will also be streamed live to the congregation’s Facebook page (@CBIRumson).
