Zoom Room Bet
People love Havurah! Curious community members looking to connect frequently send us inquiries about who we are and what membership is like. These conversations are interesting and fun to have, with no "selling" involved--just an opportunity to share what we like and know about Havurah. If you would like to help staff by chatting with folks who contact us with general inquiries, please RSVP here for a training session.
At the session, you will learn about what questions tend to be asked and how to answer them, where to refer folks for questions you can't answer, and about Havurah's process for becoming a new member. If you decide to volunteer in this way, Havurah staff will support you all the way! We'll be in Zoom Room Bet.

Zoom Room Bet
Fiction/Short Stories, 141 pages. Mixing historical and biographical facts, made-up legends plus other fictions and exaggerations, Castel-Bloom writes an unconventional saga of her family, the Kastils. As in other sagas, there are family meals and get-togethers, deaths and funerals, sayings and stories, and things that are not to be mentioned because they disgrace the family. But here these elements all slip and slide sideways into parody and the absurd. Discussion led by Joel Beinin in Zoom Room Bet.
