Life Cycles
Havurah Shalom is about community. We gather together to celebrate life-cycle events, from brit milah and baby namings to b’nai and b’not mitzvah, weddings and commitment ceremonies. And we sustain each other in times of difficulty and loss.

FebFebruary 1 , 2023(IP) Palestinian Voices
Wednesday, Feb 1st 7:00p to 8:15p
A selection of Palestinian voices in their own terms—unmediated by Western or Israeli media or organizations with a political agenda—using a selection of films, poetry, prose, and music (and depending on Covid conditions, food). We will include well known figures like Edward Said, Ghassan Kanafani, and Mahmud Darwish as well as representatives of the youthful generation of feminist authors, such as Hala Alyan, Farah Chamma, and Rafeef Ziadah. The emphasis throughout is on cultural expression rather than historical narrative or political analysis. However, to provide a common point of departure, we will begin with a film that surveys the history since British Mandate Palestine (1922-1948) to about 2000. Led by Joel Beinin. -
