Life Cycles
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.

JanJanuary 23 , 2020Writing Group
Thursday, Jan 23rd 7:00p to 9:00p
David Kertzner will be leading another Havurah adult amateur writers group for anyone who wants to explore their interest in prose writing – and is not a published writer or working on a big writing project. This group welcomes people who have never shared their own writing or worked in a group before, but would like to try! The focus will be memoir writing in the broadest sense of the word. We will strive to be a supportive, reflective community using writing prompts and discussion to generate short pieces each week. Participants will select one of their pieces to develop in more depth and then share at a culminating Friday oneg for the Havurah community. Group size is limited to 8 participants. We will meet together for 8 sessions on Thursday evenings from 7-9 pm, January 16, 23, 30; February 6, 13, 20, 27; March 5 and a public reading with an Oneg on March 6. Spot reservations do not open until the spring! Please call David Kertzner if you have questions. -

JanJanuary 26 , 2020Jewish Power and Powerlessness
Sunday, Jan 26th 10:00a to 12:00p
“They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s… talk about it.” The 20th century gave us examples of the most extreme Jewish powerlessness and unheard-of Jewish power as well. But the history of Jews and political, military and social power — especially so-called “soft power” — is much more complicated, much more nuanced than popular consciousness has led us to believe. How did Jews use communal wisdom and the concerted application of influence to ensure centuries of survival? Where was the Church, the Reformation, the growth of secular power and the emergence of modern society for all of this? There are several perspectives to consider, and we’ll break it down, from Philo to philo-Semitism. Taught by David Feder. 10-11:30 am, Sundays, Jan. 19 & 26
