The results from the national election have aroused strong feelings across our community. Individually and as a nation we are just beginning to absorb the social and political implications of this emerging sea change.

Havurah Shalom is one of those few places where we can come together with a sense of purpose and spirit to share our respective viewpoints and reactions. This is a reminder that we are hosting a Post-election Conversation at Havurah on Sunday evening, 7:00-8:30 pm.

Our community represents a rainbow of experiences, perspectives and culture.  We believe in the possibility for positive change. We want to act as a bright light amidst the anger and despair which currently grips our national spirit. This gathering will be an opportunity to share your perspective, humbly listen and actively learn so we can build and support new pathways for change in our community.

This will be a facilitated conversation, with an opportunity to share feelings and perspective about the broader election results and, if we choose to, focus more deeply on several related social action themes:

• Gun violence and loosening the grip of the NRA
• The effects of hate speech on women, refugees and people of color, and
• Environmental degradation and climate change.

Please RSVP below ... and come even if you don’t RSVP! Please invite others to come along with you. Let’s come together to heal and inspire action towards real, lasting and difficult change.
