Havurah Shalom

Guest presenter Rabbi Laurie Zimmerman will talk with us about Reconstructing Judaism's past, present, and future approaches to Zionism.

Rabbi Zimmerman was ordained in 2003 by the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia and serves as Rabbi at Congregation Shaarei Shamayim in Madison, Wisconsin. In 2015 she published a curriculum for children and teenagers titled Reframing Israel: Teaching Kids to Think Critically About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. She has been a core organizer in the ongoing series "Reconstructionists Expanding Our Conversations About Israel/Palestine," which is cosponsored by Havurah Shalom. She is also actively involved with Wisconsin's immigrant rights organization, Voces de la Frontera.

Building Entry for Lifelong Learning Activities
For security reasons, the building always remains locked. It is the responsibility of member participants to bring the door code and use it to come inside. Since the code cannot be transmitted by email, please contact one of our staff if you don't have it yet: Rachel Pollak (503-248-4662, ext. 2) or Tara Anderson (ext. 4).

If you are not a member of Havurah, we hope you will join us for this class, but we cannot share the code with you. Your instructor will email you with instructions for entering the building a week or two before the class begins.

We also want to encourage everyone to arrive on time, particularly those who do not have a code. This will minimize disruptions for students and teachers.

Accommodations
Havurah Shalom strives to offer accessible programming and spaces to all. If a reasonable accommodation can improve your experience of this activity, please email info@havurahshalom.org.
