On Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 PM the Havurah welcomes Gabriel Meyer Halevy in Many Continents – One Planet!, a concert spiced with stories celebrating the human spirit. Halevy, peacemaker, musician, vocalist and storyteller will share original and folk songs based on his own nomadic experiences as a cultural and interfaith bridge builder for peace.
Gabriel Meyer Halevy, born in Cordoba, Argentina, son of Rabbi Marshall Meyer who saved the lives of thousands of Jews when that country was under military rule in the 1970’s, now carries on that work in Israel. He is co-founder of the Sulha Peace Project that is based in Jerusalem. They do exceptional work bringing Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Druze communities together for study, music, and mutual support. Mr. Halevy travels the globe performing his music and facilitating interfaith and multicultural gatherings. The Human Project is Gabriel’s first solo CD.
Rabbi David Zaslow of Ashland’s Havurah Synagogue says, “Gabriel is a modern day troubadour. His music touches the heart, and his storytelling touches the soul. For anyone who cares about interfaith reconciliation, this is a concert not to be missed.” The concert is free and open to all. Donations to support Halevy will be gratefully accepted. The Havurah is located at 185 N. Mountain Ave. in Ashland. Call 541-488-7716 for more info or visit www.havurahshirhadash.org. Doors open at 7:00 PM. https://www.facebook.com/events/775045729197406/

The Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education invites you to join spiritual and faith leaders from around Oregon for this special conversation framed around Simon Wiesenthal’s thought provoking book The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limitations of Forgiveness. In the first half of the book Wiesenthal recounts his experiences in a Nazi concentration camp and what he did when asked for forgiveness by a dying SS soldier. In the second half of the book distinguished men and women from around the world offer their own reflections about whether or not Wiesenthal did the right thing in response to the dying man.
Rabbi Joshua Stampfer, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Neveh Shalom, will be joined by prominent leaders from other faith-based communities including Salma Ahmad, President of the Islamic Society of Greater Portland; Mary Jo Tully, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon; Linda Neale of the Earth & Spirit Council; and David Leslie, Executive Director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon.
This panel is presented in partnership with Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, the Earth & Spirit Council, and the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and has been generously underwritten by Howard and Wendy Liebreich.
We especially thank the First United Methodist Church for hosting the panel discussion at 1838 SW Jefferson St
