This lively group has moved to Zoom and now meets every Saturday, 10:30-12:15.

The group reads and discusses English-language texts of prominent Jewish writers. Some of these texts will be translations, others will have been written in English. Sometimes the texts are provided in advance as a .pdf; other times, the group reads aloud in turn, which allows for interruptions for questions and comments, and results in spontaneous and stimulating discussion. If for any reason you choose not to read aloud, you can follow the text while others read, and join the discussion.
