Havurah Shalom

Rabbi Joey will lead the first three classes, in which we will look at texts from Jewish tradition about equity and otherness. Examples of situational ethics will be the foundation for our study and reflection. What do the texts mean to you as an individual? What is the relevance in our own lives? What are the issues that we need to confront?

The second set of three sessions will broaden the discussion to explore tools that can be used to help us wrestle with these challenging topics as we explore issues of equity, privilege, and otherness at personal, community, organizational, and systematic levels. For example, how can we become more aware of our implicit biases and assumptions? How do we address the impact of our behavior and that of others in respectful and productive ways both in and beyond Havurah? Outside facilitators will lead these three sessions.

Rabbi Joey’s classes were to be 7:00 - 8:30 pm on Wednesdays, Nov. 30,  Dec. 7, and Dec. 14, but the Dec. 14 class was canceled due to snow and ice. It has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 11, 7:00 - 8:30 pm.

The second set of meetings will be Jan. 3, 10 and 17, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. We ask that participants commit to all six sessions. 

The class is currently FULL, please add your name to the wait list below if you are interested in attending if a space opens up.
