RPUPS IN THE PARK WILL BE HELD IN LAKE OSWEGO AT GEORGE ROGERS PARK NEAR THE PLAYGROUND.

Hot dogs will be provided. Please bring a side dish to go with them. You are welcome to bring your (well behaved) dog, but you don’t need a dog to join us!  Havdalah Service will be held after dinner. It should be a fun afternoon, a delicious and friendly dinner, and a beautiful end to Shabbat.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO COME TO THIS FUN EVENT!

Rabbi Berg and Cantor Ann Brown will lead Shabbat-Sukkot Family Service tonight.  Included will be birthday blessings for those born in October.  All are welcome.

Havurah’s catered Kabbalat Shabbat Dinner begins at 6:30 pm, followed by a Kabbalat Shabbat Service at 7:30 pm. The dinner is vegetarian, and we offer dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free options. You’re invited to bring wine or juice to celebrate Shabbat. Childcare is available for kids age 2 to 8.

RSVPs are required for all who plan to attend the dinner. Please RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/4-8-Kabbalat by Monday, April 4.

Whether or not you attend the dinner, we hope you’ll join us for our musical and joy-filled Kabbalat Shabbat Service. The service will be led by Rabbi Joey and Havurah musicians, and is sponsored by Havurah’s Tikkun Olam Committee, with a focus on welcoming refugees.

We invite you to join us on Friday, Dec. 30, to welcome Shabbat, spread the light of the Chanukah candles, and share our feelings, fears, and hopes for the difficult times we are facing as a country. For those of us who came together on the Sunday after the election, it was a powerful expression of community, and there have been requests to identify some next steps. It continues to feel premature to launch a specific action plan. Instead, it seems more appropriate to gather in community, listen to how we are doing, and continue conversations about our hopes and fears about areas such as immigrants and refugees, poverty and homelessness, climate change, equity, and gun control.

We will begin by lighting the Chanukah and Shabbat candles, sing some songs, and then spend our time talking and listening. There will not be a formal Friday night service.

Please RSVP here.
