Come singers, come musicians, come listeners, come all! At our monthly song share, members of the Havurah musician’s collective share and teach songs based on the monthly theme. This month, the theme is Tu B'shvat, Environmentalism, MLK, and Civil Rights. Bring your ears, your voice and your instrument. This is a kid-friendly (but not kid-focused) event. Want to share a song? Email Leah.shoshanah@havurahshalom.org.

The biblical prophets left us a legacy of clarion calls opposing inequity and demanding a more just society. Their vision and poetic voice has inspired Jews and others throughout the generations. In this class we will explore the prophets’ theology and worldview, and the language they used to express them. In particular, we will consider the role of the prophetic voice and approach in our own pursuits of justice, examining tensions between truth and compassion, activism and organizing, and confrontation and relationship-building. Taught by Rabbi Benjamin. Non-members are welcome, though we ask that you consider making a donation to Havurah Shalom. This class takes place in Zoom Room Bet. Please see the weekly Hineinu newsletter for the link.
