JulJuly 26 , 2021Film Screening and Discussion: “Other Side of the Hill”
Monday, Jul 26th 7:00p to 8:15p
OTHER SIDE OF THE HILL explores the impacts of a changing climate as seen through the eyes of local leaders on the ground in rural Oregon. The film amplifies the voices of rural communities often left unheard, and shines a light on stories of progress and hope. In a time of unprecedented cultural divide between rural and urban communities, this film finds common ground in an urgency to address a changing landscape.

JulJuly 27 , 2021Book Group: Journey From the Land of No: A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran, by Roya Hakakian
Tuesday, Jul 27th 7:00p to 8:30p
In Journey from the Land of No Roya Hakakian recalls her childhood and adolescence in pre-revolutionary Iran with candor and verve. The result is a beautifully written coming-of-age story about one deeply intelligent and perceptive girl’s attempt to find an authentic voice of her own at a time of cultural closing and repression. Remarkably, she manages to re-create a time and place dominated by religious fanaticism, violence, and fear with an open heart and often with great humor. This discussion will take place in Zoom Room Bet. -

AugAugust 8 , 2021Elul Workshop - Embodied Teshuvah
Sunday, Aug 8th 10:00a to 12:00p
With Amanda Davidowitz. This workshop is an invitation to take an individual journey of introspection, self-compassion and forgiveness in the presence of community. Congregation member Amanda Davidowitz (Inspired Heart Wellness) will guide you through meditation, breath, yoga postures and journal exercises designed to create an experience of compassionate ḥeshbon ha-nefesh (“soul accounting”) and intention setting as we approach the Days of Awe. While the Hebrew word teshuvah is usually translated as repentance, it literally means “to return.” This auspicious time in the Jewish calendar is an opportunity to return to self, to your values, to community and to your connection with the Divine. Wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. Have a journal and pen or pencil. You may also want to have a meditation cushion, sofa cushion, firm pillow or a sturdy chair. Yoga mat and other props are not necessary but you may use them if you have them. Bring water or tea and get cozy! Accessibility Note: Amanda will be incorporating seated, reclining and standing postures into this workshop. All seated postures can be done either in a sturdy chair or on the floor. Yoga will be slow, gentle and accessible. During the workshop you are encouraged to either follow along or do what feels right for your body. If you have specific physical needs or questions about accessibility, please email Amanda in advance at inspiredheartwellness@gmail.com. This event will take place on Havurah’s High Holidays website. Register for free when it opens on Aug. 4! -

Monday, Aug 9th 4:00p to 4:15p
Led by Andrine de la Rocha, Howard Patterson and Diane Chaplin. "When the Shofar is sounded, hear, all you inhabitants of the world."

They will use the traditional Shofar calls and give a bit of kavanot each time. Each session will last only a few minutes, so be prompt or you’ll miss it!
