Jewish History Study Group

Our Next Meeting:

Tuesday, February 23
2:30pm, at private residence in Ithaca

Our theme is Jewish History. We will start with Spinoza, the 17th C. Dutch Jewish philosopher and Kol Haverim's Cultural School (and The Society for Humanistic Judaism's) focus for this year.

Topics for our next meeting include:
1. Discussion of common reading by A. Nadler "Romanzing Spinoza" refuting Rebecca Goldstein's "Betraying Spinoza."
2. A decision whether or not to read Goldstein's 36 Reasons as a group.
3. How to use the SHJ powerpoint presentation (by Shaw) on Spinoza to organize our presentation on Spinoza for the Kol Haverim Havdalah celebration on May 1 at 5:00.

Potential new members -- please feel welcome, and contact me for more information.
