Shabbat dinner and class: The Problem with Kicking People Out -rsvp deadline June 17!

Shabbat programming



- Friday June 24, 2011

7:00 p.m.

Join us for services and a dairy/vegetarian Shabbat dinner followed by the class The Problem with Kicking People Out by Gary Bean. We regularly provide dairy-free and gluten-free options at dinner. But if you have specific food needs, let us know asap. Services at Havurat Shalom are egalitarian, lay-led and usually involve a lot of singing.

Registration deadline: June 17, 2011. Dinner and the class are free, but you must register by June 17! RSVP to registrar@thehav.org or 617-623-3376.

All groups have boundaries. The boundaries of the Jewish people have been redefined many times in our history. What are legitimate and illegitimate ways of defining these boundaries? If you think this is a simple issue, you definitely need to come.

7:00 p.m.

Join us for services followed by a potluck, dairy/vegetarian Shabbat dinner. Services at Havurat Shalom are egalitarian, lay-led and usually involve a lot of singing. The potluck is truly pot luck - no arranging of the dishes in advance. The meal is a good time to meet people and we welcome newcomers.

- Please note, there will not be services Fridays July 1, August 5 and September 2nd. Join us for services all other Friday nights at 7:00 p.m.

- Saturday July 2, 2011

10:00 a.m.

Join us for services followed by a potluck, dairy/vegetarian Shabbat lunch.

As one of many, many people of half-Jewish ancestry, this makes me wonder if we would only be welcome depending upon which of our parents gave us the Jewish side of our heritage.

Thank you for this comment - I feel silly not to have anticipated it. Everyone is welcome at Havurat Shalom. We have Jews and nonJews of all stripes in the community and respect however people self-identify. I can't speak to whether the teacher of the class will bring up uncomfortable topics. But everyone is definitely welcome.

It looks to me like the description of this class has changed substantially from what was in the original post? (looking at my first e-mail notice of this event, and the second one I just got today)

yes - the comments on the earlier version made it obvious that the title was open to some not so good interpretations. So I went back to the teacher and got better info.
