Havurah teens Grades 8-12 are invited to join thirty peers from two Reconstructionist congregations in NY/NJ who are coming to Portland for a social justice weekend run by local non-profit Tivnu: Building Justice. Come learn about the weekend, which will include hands-on volunteer work, spirited discussions about the roots and solutions of houselessness and other injustices, a closer look at how some Portland organizations are addressing the needs of unhoused folks, and some time to relax and have fun together. Find more details here and look for registration to open up soon. Contact Andy Waxman for more information. 

In this four-week introductory class, we will delve into the history of Jewish mysticism, sample ancient Kabbalistic texts and contemporary mystical writings, become acquainted with Hasidic rebbes and their enduring stories, and explore selected mystical concepts and practices.
