Havurah Shalom

Join Havurah's Poverty and Homelessness Committee in collaboration with Congregation Beth Israel's Social Action Committee! We will show a beautiful film made in Portland that highlights a quickly growing part of our homeless population: older adults.

No Place to Grow Old shows the challenges faced by newly homeless older people—people who simply are unable to afford decent housing. The film also shines a light on the systemic issues contributing to their plight. Featuring insights from local and national experts, No Place to Grow Old is a powerful call to action that emphasizes dignity and hope, envisioning a future where everyone, regardless of age, has a safe and secure place to call home.

Housing professional and Havurah member Rachel Duke will lead a discussion following the film.

Please note the new address. RSVP below.
 

Elul Tov!

This activity is being offered as part of Havurah Shalom’s celebration of the Hebrew month of Elul! As Elul precedes Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we use this time for study, reflection, and mental and spiritual preparation and inspiration. All are invited to attend our gatherings, which span spiritual, text-based, political, ecological and creative topics. We hope you will find them enriching, fun, moving, and worthwhile. You can find the full list of classes here, or see the calendar. For questions about this programming, please reach out to Rachel Pollak.

Nonmembers are welcome!
