We will finish our study of "Antigone" next week and then move on to the next selection in the Banned Book Club, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, on Mar. 17. Written in 1932, Huxley creates a totalitarian society based on advanced technology and "happiness." Monogamy, religion, and science are out…consumerism, sex, and drugs are in. After careful consideration, we will discuss whether this book should be banned.

Deborah Orens practiced law at Hannoch Weisman, and currently teaches English literature at Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School, where she has developed specialized curricula merging these two passions. Deborah loves to attend Shabbat services at CAI with her husband, daughter, and granddaughter.
