Or Shalom Jewish Community

Sunday, April 22 Wine/Cheese & Music Reception and Learning at 3:00pm-6:00pm Topic: Northern Israel in the Rabbinic and Early Christian Period Northern Israel was a hot bed of creativity, rebellion and raw materialism. The Galilee and the Golan are the epicenter of the interface between the Rabbis, the Romans and Early Christianity. Northern Israel today remains a hopeful symbol of coexistence and mutual respect and understanding.

Bar Mitzvah of Noah Campbell, son of Greg and Marcella Campbell

It is impossible to have community, or any kind of relationship, without conflict. Whether we discuss ritual or racism, history or health care, there will be disagreement. Our task is to learn to disagree le-shem shamayim, "for the sake of heaven," thoughtfully, respectfully and with the goal of learning rather than winning. This workshop will give participants the opportunity to learn and practice constructive conflict skills. Using the model of the ancient Sanhedrin, we will study and debate a topical issue with the goal of greater mutual understanding.
