History Committee
History Committee
History Committee members Cynthia Herrup, Marian Rhys, Dale Schwartz, and Becky Seel work to preserve historical documents and artifacts so the Havurah community can share its collective memory and experience.
Listen to oral histories from some of Havurah’s founding or long-term members. These are excerpts from longer interviews posted on the website of the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, which include non-Havurah-related biographical information not included in the excerpts.
(More will be linked here in the coming days.)

OctOctober 2 , 2023Mahjong Group
Monday, Oct 2nd 1:00p to 4:00p
We are excited to bring mahjong back to Havurah. It is a fun, social activity that builds community, encouraging new friendships and cementing old ones. And while some of us may play elsewhere as well, we all agreed that restoring its place as an ongoing congregational activity will be a good fit for Havurah and those of us who play or want to learn the game. So please don't hesitate to join us! -

OctOctober 3 , 2023(IP) Tuning In to Jewish Texts
Tuesday, Oct 3rd 7:30p to 8:45p
Jewish text study is similar to tuning a radio. Each type of text—TaNaKH (Bible), Rabbinic Literature (Midrash and Talmud), Medieval Commentary (Rashi, ibn Ezra, Nachmanides) and Mystical (Kabbalistic and Hasidic)—operates on a different frequency. Each seeks to clarify what we are hearing about the world, following a set of rules. Each reads the world’s signals. We will spend two weeks tuning into specific passages from the four genres. Hebrew is not necessary for this overview , although we will read some of the “greatest hits” together in the original. Transistor radios preferred to digital, because we are all subject to static. Led by Rabbi Joey Wolf. -
