The Big Ideas Book Club is for people who love to read and discuss polemical books. We gather every approximately every 6 weeks to discuss a book which boldly asks that we look at the world differently. We welcome new participants - occasionally, or regularly.
These are the books we have read over the last couple of years, so if these are the kinds of books you read (or would like to read) we’d love you to be part of our respectful, good-natured, robust, but kind conversations! Please find one of us for a chat at shul or contact Rabbi Zahavit if you’d like to come along.
