Shavuot Celebrate the Giving of the Torah!
7 pm to 11 pm+, Tuesday, June 11 – Havurah Shalom (and in Zoom Room Bet from 8 pm on) Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and was also one of the three major pilgrimage festivals, celebrating the wheat harvest. It ends the counting of the Omer, which began the second day of Passover. Two observances we’ll be doing at Havurah Shalom are enjoying dairy and dairy-substitutes and studying Torah into the night, meaningful traditions with storied origins. Join us at Havurah for our Shavuot celebration: a night of noshing, music, and learning!
Bring a dairy dessert, or some other sweet noshing, or just yourself! Childcare is available! Please RSVP.
7-8 pm: Dessert potluck/smorgasbord 8-9:30 pm: Niggunim, Piyyut, Shiviti: Creative Spiritual Technologies for Being Present, with Alicia Jo Rabins 9:30-10 pm: Singing Circle 10 pm on: Awake to our Lives, Awake to the Other, with Rabbi Benjamin
Tasty food is provided by Havurah members, but more potluck commitments are needed! Volunteers to help during part of the night will also make the night even more enjoyable for all!
Parking Available! Legacy has generously given us permission to park in its lot at 1919 NW Lovejoy on weekdays after 5 pm and all day on weekends. We can park in any spot but 1-10. We hope this will make it easier to come for services and other programming! Please help us maintain our relationship with Legacy by honoring these guidelines.

Havurahnik Mahjong Group Monday, Oct 20th 1:00p to 4:00p Just for Havurah members, our Mahjong Group is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game.

(ZM) Cohort D of Coming Home to Solidarity Tuesday, Oct 21st 11:30a to 1:30p What is Coming Home to Solidarity? Coming Home to Solidarity is a workshop designed to help us create a culture and community where all members freely show up as their authentic selves; where all are valued, appreciated, and have a sense of belonging. The workshop is an opportunity for white-bodied or white-identifying congregants to come together in a supportive and caring environment to reflect, learn and unlearn, heal from the ways we have been impacted by white supremacy, and start to recognize new possibilities for taking action.
