We will meet in Zoom Room Bet.

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.

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.

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.

This first part of a two-session conversation will focus on whether the two-state solution paradigm is viable or whether other alternatives need to be examined. We will use, as a basis for our discussion, the new book by Professor Ian Lustick, Paradigm Lost: From Two-State Solution to One-State Reality. You do not have to read the book in order to join the discussion. But we ask that you listen to an interview with Prof. Lustick and/or read an earlier article from the New York Times which summarizes his perspective (the audio on the interview is soft so you may prefer to use headphones to listen). (Click into event for links.) We will begin with a summary of Prof. Lustick’s arguments and then open an informal general discussion. This event will take place in Zoom Room Dalet. Find join info in Hineinu or contact the office for help (503-248-4662, ext. 2).
