Pacific NorthWest Shabbaton May 2017

In a woodsy setting that was both serene and invigorating, more than one hundred members of Reconstructionist communities in the Pacific Northwest gathered. We sang old and new songs, learned with world class teachers, opened up about things that matter, and met rabbis and community members from around the region. It was a full agenda, and yet people left feeling energized and looking ahead to how we can join forces to do more like this in the future.

Ruth and Lovingkindess Teaching Session Gedzelman

As we look forward to reading the Book of Ruth on the holiday of Shavuot, Rabbi David Gedzelman explores the text with an eye towards literary elements which speak of how the Hebrew Bible pushes forward structures of covenantal openness, societal protection and compassion towards the other built on and transcending the requirements of the Law.

The handout for the study session is available here:
