A Righteous Mind Discussion
Tuesday, Nov 19th 7:30p to 9:30p
Controversial topics tend to generate angry exchanges, but not at "A Righteous Mind" discussion. We don't shy away from the controversial, but we've got some ground rules, chief among them, listening to the other side respectfully and answering, if one so chooses, with dignity. Everyone is invited. No need to RSVP. Come take on the big issues, the way the big issues ought to be analyzed.

Jewish Meditation
Wednesday, Nov 20th 9:20a to 10:00a
WE PUT THE OHM INTO SHALOM! Scientific research has verified repeatedly the positive effects of turning down the body for a few minutes each day. Meditation lowers heart rate, reduces blood pressure, eases tension, and clears the mind. This class is open to everyone and you don’t even have to be Jewish. But our mantras always are, and are chosen based on the season and the Torah readings. Come do yourself a tovah (a good thing) and treat yourself to a few minutes of inspiration and relaxation. It will make the rest of the day so much better!

Daf Shevu'i--The Weekly Page (of Talmud)
Thursday, Nov 21st 9:15a to 10:15a
The Daf Shevu’i class has been meeting for a few years and is wide-open to new members. We do one page of Talmud a week. Sound slow? Only to those who may have never opened a page of Talmud. The page or daf is pretty dense. We are studying Sanhedrin or the laws that governed that great body of scholars who handled the legal cases of the Jewish people through the second Temple period. What were their court procedures, how did they go about executing the condemned, who was eligible for the world-to-come and who was not, etc.? These are fascinating subjects that will undoubtedly inspire much conversation.
