Its deeper purpose is to become more educated about a whole range of Jewish topics in the spirit of Socrates’ assertion that an unexamined life is not worth living. When we write “educated” we are not using this word to mean in its modern usage, trained or shaped. We rather hark back to its ancient etymology when it meant “to be led out of” as from the uncons …

The Great Books Reading Group is not a literature club. It is a discussion group that uses a multidisciplinary approach to learning and exploring the past and present. We are reading from the St. John's College Reading List. As we read foundational texts in the Western tradition, we examine mysticism, history, theology, the earth and physical sciences, mathematics, philosophy and government, as well as art, literature and music.
This group is being started for women who live in the Kentlands , Gaithersburg or other areas and wish to meet other women who like to read women authors and make new friends. We will pick a book by a female author each month and meet to discuss it. Sometimes we may view movies that have been made from books and compare them to the book. This will be a chance to make this group what the members want it to be and to get an opportunity to get in on the beginning of the group as it forms.
