Join us for services followed by a potluck, vegetarian Shabbat dinner and the class Lashon Ha-Ra: Creative and Destructive Uses of Language. The potluck is truly pot luck - no arranging of the dishes in advance. Please RSVP by ASAP to registrar@thehav.org so that the teacher can know how many students to expect.

Services: 6:30 p.m.
Dinner: c. 7:30 p.m.
Class: c. 8:00 p.m.

Lashon Ha-Ra: Creative and Destructive Uses of Language

We will begin with readings of a few biblical texts, then move to looking at excerpts from the classical text on Lashon Ha-Ra by the Chafetz Chaim, and finally turn our discussion to contemplative reflection, thinking about the ways we use language and the effect our
language has on ourselves and on the world. Prepare to be challenged and possibly even transformed.


Pam Greenberg is a writer, translator, and teacher. Her book, The Complete Psalms: The Book of Prayer Songs in a New Translation was published last April by Bloomsbury.
