40th Year Shabbat School Celebration
40th Year Shabbat School Celebration
Let’s hear and see your reflections! On December 7 at 4:00 pm, we will look back and marvel on 40 years of our unique and amazing family cooperative Jewish education model, while envisioning our future. Will you share some reflections, recollections, photos, memories of the Shabbat School experience for you, your children, your family? Deborah and Brad (Havurah’s new Communications and Membership Coordinator) will create a short film for our celebration. You can:
- Send photos from any time in the last 40 years to brad@havurahshalom.org, or we can take your hard copy photos and use those as well.
- Email Brad to schedule a time for us to film you talking about the program. All ages of parents and children welcome. Filming starts in September.
- Send us your thoughts or memories in writing to deborah@havurahshalom.org.
- If you want to make a one minute video with your phone instead of coming in, please be in touch with Brad.
Here are some questions to consider for the interview:
- At the time, what did you find most impactful/memorable/enjoyable about your Shabbat School experience?
- Can you tell us about one activity/project/song/learning/experience that has stayed with you?
- What do you think youth gained from the whole Shabbat School experience?
- What do you think parents gained from the whole Shabbat School experience?
- How do you think our unique Shabbat School model, a family cooperative, impacts Havurah Shalom as a whole?
- Looking back, what do you feel was most important about your family’s Shabbat School time?

We are excited to bring mahjong back to Havurah. It is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game. So please don't hesitate to join us! -

Facilitated by Rabbi Benjamin. In this class, we’ll be exploring various ways in which the Divine is represented and imagined in Jewish tradition. Beyond simply the intellectual, our lens will be more one of spiritual reflection and practice. In other words: As we encounter and interact with the metaphors that the tradition offers for experiencing and connecting with God/Spirit/Life, what do we notice within our hearts and minds? How do particular images shape our consciousness and perception? As a guide for this exploration we will read Rabbi Toba Spitzer’s book, God is Here, which should be purchased for the class (contact Rabbi Benjamin for a free copy if needed). RSVP here by March 1. -

Rabbi Benjamin and Joel Beinin will offer three sessions on “Understanding October 7, 2023” – the Hamas attack on Israel and Israel’s response. The class will offer space for people to express their personal feelings about the events as well as explore the historical context of the events of October 7. Integrated into our examination of this moment, we will engage with a variety of Jewish texts: on grief and loss, on holding multiple truths, and on questions of fundamentalism and fixed views. -
