Havurah Shalom

Facilitated by Rabbi Benjamin and Joel Beinin. During this season of ḥeshbon hanefesh—honest self-examination—leading up to the Days of Awe, we will spend these sessions examining aspects of Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians and reflect on what our learning asks of us as Jews. Rabbi Benjamin will present Jewish texts as a framework for us to grapple with issues such as Jewish power and our relationship to the other, and Joel will guide us in engaging with contemporary analysis from various organizations. Readings in preparation for each session are available through the Israel/Palestine Committee portal. You can attend either or both sessions.

Here is a direct link to the reading for today's session.
