#Intro We are a #Havurah (aka a small Jewish community) that meets online.

We are #International with our leadership team coming from both North America and Europe, with regular attenders from South and Central America, Australia and Asia.

We are part of the movement of #HumanisticJudaism which means we do our best to use #NonTheistic liturgy in our services.

We also seek to be an #Inclusive community, including for #LGBTQ people and non-Ashkenazi Jews.

Very excited about this new episode of the #JudaismUnbound podcast, an interview with Michael Strassfeld, one of the co-authors of the #JewishCatalog, to discuss his new book "#Judaism, disrupted." The discussions was broad and included unpacking #Liturgy, #JewishMusic, #Deconstuction, #Havurot, and #Synagogues.

Look for thoughts in response to this episode on ep, #2 of the #JewishAlmanac podcast this weekend.

#Introduction post - I'm part of the moderation team of Coffeehouse Torah Talk, an online #Havurah for #Jews who believe in Ahavat Yisrael and Talmud Torah. We draw from the wisdom of classical and modern rabbis, including Conservative, #Hadar, Modern Orthodox, the #JewishCatalog, Masorti, neo-Hasidism, and tradition-embracing wing of Reform Judaism.

We're #JEWISH, not JEW-ISH :-)

Ari, this is a beautiful teaching! I am sharing with my #havurah. Growing up I never learned anything from the #Maharal, I was only introduced to him in the last decade. Now I see how much more there is to learn. Hopefully in the coming year more Hebrew schools and Jewish adult ed will feature the Maharal and other of our great thinkers

About #converting to #Judaism: Judaism is not a religion, it is a #kehillah (tribe/family.) One can't "identify" as a Jew. One must go through #gerut ("conversion) to Judaism by

1. A course of study with a rabbi & Jewish teachers
2. Fulfilling the #mitzvah of #tevilah (immersion in a mikveh)
3. For men, circumcision or hatafat dam brit.
4. Joining a (real world, not social media) #synagogue, #havurah, kehillah

An intermarried couple joins a synagogue. What are the boundaries for participating in Jewish prayer services? The answer varies significantly among Jewish denominations

Merrimack Valley Havurah - On the leadership of the Conservative movement and its future

Thoughts on the leadership of the Conservative Jewish movement and its future: I love halakhic, religious, egalitarian, non-fundamentalist Judaism. We can call it Conservative /Masorti Judaism, or Trad-Egal, Hadar, etc. Names aside, the movement has huge problems that we need to admit and confront -

When's the last time your synagogue or Hebrew School taught about the prophet Jeremiah? Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) study is just as important as Talmud

Jewish people don't need to become Chassidic, but there is so much in Chassidus for all Jews to learn from.

When Europeans went to America they didn’t find ancient manuscripts of Shakespeare: because they were colonisers
Jews in Israel find ancient manuscripts written in Hebrew, the same language they speak today, describing the same rituals they observe: because they’re indigenous.
