Havurah Shalom

During the High Holy Days we read four sections of the Torah: one on each day of Rosh Hashanah, one on Yom Kippur morning and one on Yom Kippur afternoon.

• Why do we read these portions of the Torah?
• What can these Torah readings teach us about the High Holy Days?
• What lessons that we can take with us throughout the year?

This series of study sessions will give us an opportunity to read the texts and explore their meanings. We will look at what our teachers before us thought of the readings, as well as investigate modern commentators to see what a more contemporary view is. We also will come up with our own thoughts and see how we can understand the texts for our lives today.

Led by David Dropkin. No experience necessary. Please join us.
 

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!
