Thursday
Apr 25Drawdown Book Discussion Group
Thursday, Apr 25th 7:00p to 8:30p
There is way out of the climate change disaster. And there are many things we can do to have an impact. These actions are addressed in-depth in the New York Times best seller, Drawdown. The editor and creator is Paul Hawken, and the Drawdown Project was developed by an international coalition of almost 200 researchers, professionals, and scientists from 22 countries. They came together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change that are already successfully being done and need our support to scale up. The Havurah Climate Action Team invites you to join us for a series of book discussion sessions at Havurah about this ground breaking book. Please prepare by reading the sections on Buildings and Cities, Land Use, and Transport. For more information contact Andy Beers at andy@andybeers.com or 425-985-0997. Everyone is invited! -

Wednesday, May 1st 7:00p to 8:30p
An in-depth, word-by-word study of a section of Pashat Bo (Exodus 10:1– 3:16) in which we encounter questions about arrogance, persistence, free will, habits that can harden the heart, collective punishment, the fall of empire, liberation found in big and small places, and starting over in every way possible. -
Thursday
May 2Writers Group
Thursday, May 2nd 7:00p to 9:00p
In the spirit of Havurah’s theme this year, David Kertzner is organizing a new Havurah adult amateur writers workshop for anyone who wants to go Panim el Panim with themselves, as exploring writers, and with the community in a culminating Friday Oneg with writers sharing their work in public reading. Joining the group does not mean you must read publicly, though – but it has been fun, transformative and moving in the past! The goal is to create a supportive, reflective environment for people who want to write and share in a context that they might not have experienced before. -
