Dorot Short & Sweet Shabbat Service
Friday, November 30, 2018 • 22 Kislev 5779
6:00 PM - 7:30 PMPlease join us for a special Dorot Short & Sweet Shabbat on Friday, Nov. 30. The service starts at 6:00 pm, followed by a vegetarian potluck at 6:45 pm.
What is a Dorot Short & Sweet Shabbat? This casual, family-friendly, and music-filled service begins with candle lighting, Kiddush and challah, and continues with prayers and music led by Jacob Mandelsberg, Sarah Shine, Gabe Adoff, Larry Reichman, and Tanja Lux.
The Hebrew word dorot means 'generations.' Repeatedly in our prayers we refer to the generations. L’dor v'dor: from generation to generation. This Dorot service is designed with the idea that adults and children can experience Jewish spiritual practice together. This special Dorot service in November is being expanded to include the Alter Rockers, Havurahniks who are retired or contemplating retirement, who meet for social activities. Some have raised children already. Some have grandchildren, some don’t.
Of course, everyone is invited! Come to the service and stay for potluck dinner, followed by board games, cards and puzzles. We can all play together.
In addition to bringing a vegetarian dish to share with 5-7 others, please bring your favorite board or card game appropriate for 6+ people.
Please RSVP below if you can join us.
Sorry, Registration has ended.

We are excited to bring mahjong back to Havurah. It 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. So please don't hesitate to join us! -

Facilitated by Rabbi Benjamin. In this class, we’ll be exploring various ways in which the Divine is represented and imagined in Jewish tradition. Beyond simply the intellectual, our lens will be more one of spiritual reflection and practice. In other words: As we encounter and interact with the metaphors that the tradition offers for experiencing and connecting with God/Spirit/Life, what do we notice within our hearts and minds? How do particular images shape our consciousness and perception? As a guide for this exploration we will read Rabbi Toba Spitzer’s book, God is Here, which should be purchased for the class (contact Rabbi Benjamin for a free copy if needed). RSVP here by March 1. -

Rabbi Benjamin and Joel Beinin will offer three sessions on “Understanding October 7, 2023” – the Hamas attack on Israel and Israel’s response. The class will offer space for people to express their personal feelings about the events as well as explore the historical context of the events of October 7. Integrated into our examination of this moment, we will engage with a variety of Jewish texts: on grief and loss, on holding multiple truths, and on questions of fundamentalism and fixed views. -
