The Book Club

Now in our fourth year, the Hillel Book Club reads and discusses fiction and non-fiction books on Jewish subjects or books by Jewish authors.

We choose both modern and historical books, and enjoy lively and intelligent discussions focused on the readings.

Occasionally, we view Jewish films or other media of a similar nature. Our discussions often wander from the confines of the book to include general discussions of Jewish life in history, the modern world, and in Athens itself.

We meet every 4 to 6 weeks, on Sundays, at one of our houses.

Even if you don't think you have time to read the book, everyone is welcome to enjoy good discussions, good friends, and always a good nosh.

Past book club choices include: 

• A Tale of Love and Darkness by Amos Oz
• The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
• The Discontinuity of Small Things by Kevin Haworth
• The Messiaen Quartet by Rebecca Rishin
• and Gluckl of Hamlin
