Community Meetup

As we pilot this program, we require that attendees prepay for dinner will to help us plan accurately. Meals will rotate among local restaurants, and we’ll do our best to keep prices low. The cost is $20 per person, and advance registration is required by Wednesday of the week prior; you are welcome to register for multiple weeks at once. Each buffet will include options for a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free selections. Please indicate in the Notes section if you have any dietary needs.

Do you want to learn more about Israeli politics and culture, the relationship American Jews and Israelis share (or don’t)? Do you want to dig into a bit of biblical and rabbinic text? The Hartman Learning Group explores these issues, using the Shalom Hartman curriculum under the leadership of Rabbi Fellman. (Contact Dana Block, Executive Assistant to the Clergy, for the pro-rated cost at Dana@RodefShalom.org.)
