A follow up to Emily Simon's May class “Staying Inside/Staying Alive” but can easily be taken independently. In the book of Joshua, we read of spies, G-D drying up a body of water for us to cross over into the Promised Land, and social disruption. Does any of this strike a familiar chord??? We also read (and will focus on) an absolutely heroic woman, Rahab (and for those of you who took the prior class - the antithesis of Lot's daughters) and her role in the walls tumbling down. Join us as we explore the first six chapters of the book of Joshua. Having a Tanach with you during the class will be very helpful. If you are feeling particularly inspired, you can read any part of the first six chapters prior to the class. And whether you have or haven’t, please feel free to join. This class will take place in Zoom Room Bet.

Literature offers a perspective on Israel/Palestine that centers the human dimension and reminds us of the vibrancy a of both modern Hebrew and Palestinian Arab culture. We will read four works of fiction whose themes and plots revolve around the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. This class was designed with those who have already taken “Thinking About Israel/Palestine” in mind. But this background is not required, as the literature speaks in its own terms. This class will take place in Zoom Room Dalet.

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.
