Monthly meeting for the Teen Engagement Committee leadership. Havurah teens and their parents are welcome. We meet in Zoom Room Bet.

We all have stories to tell. This workshop will help participants to discover those stories they want to write and share. Through the use of writing prompts, assignments, and group critiques we will explore the world of memory and shared experiences. Students will (hopefully) feel liberated from their inner critics and get down on paper even those stories that they may have been reluctant to look at in the past. There will also be an emphasis on those experiences that are uniquely Jewish in nature, reflective of our culture and identity – whether we are Jews by birth or by choice, or among the still perplexed. No particular experience is necessary to participate in this workshop, other than a desire to explore your internal terrain and to be an attentive and thoughtful listener for other people’s, sometimes intimate, discoveries.

We gather to find some moments of quiet and shalom. Led by Rabbi Benjamin, Adela Basayne, Deborah Eisenbach-Budner, Nancy Becker, or Ria de Neeve. We will meet both in-person (Havurah Sanctuary or Library) and in Zoom Room Bet. Log in to the website and then visit havurahshalom.org/zoom or call the office for join info (503-248-4662). All are welcome.

Talmud Lite is led by Rabbi Joey. We will be looking at a fundamental aspect of Jewish law, the taking of vows and the ways in which it’s possible to be released from the commitments these signify.

For all who want a regular prayer practice and for people saying Kaddish. We meet both in person and streaming online in Zoom Room Aleph. All are welcome. Please email info@havurahshalom.org for join info.

Personal study with Rashi (though not in person) & Rabbi Joey

During this workshop, students will study a passage of Torah, discover commentary, pose an interesting question, and relate it to contemporary context.

Havurah members, join the Racial Justice Committee for our monthly meeting (2nd Thursdays, 7 pm to 8:30 pm, Zoom Room Bet). We will make plans to create learning opportunities for our community and engage in learning together during the meeting. Questions?
