�

Beyt Tikkun parents are hosting a series of family shabbats geared toward young children and their families.� They will take place on the 2nd Friday of the month, beginning on Friday February 10. The service, led by Rabbi Lerner, will go from 6:00pm to 6:30pm and be followed by a veggie pot-luck meal.

Everyone is invited to bring the kids and something to share for the meal afterward. You don't have to be a member of Beyt Tikkun to attend nor do you need to reserve a space in advance. It would be helpful, however,� to have some idea of the age range of the children, so if you think you are going to attend, please send an email to� elanarobyn@gmail.com and let us know the names and ages of your children.

The first two family shabbats will take place at the home of Bill Press and Elana Auerbach. Their address is 1636 Bonita Avenue in Berkeley 94709. If you have any questions about these family shabbats, you can reach Elana at elanrobyn@gmail.com.

Tu B'shvat Seder and Torah Study

Rabbi Michael Lerner — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 13:16:59 -0800

This is the Jewish Environmental Celebration. We start with the normal Torah study, but there is nothing normal about it--it's Yitro, the reading that includes the revelation of the Ten Speech Acts on Mt. Sinai. That will go from 10 a.m. till about noon. Then we have the Seder with the fruit of the season as we celebrate the grandeur and mystery of creation, from 12-1:30. And then at 1:30 till 3:00 we have a veggie pot-luck Shabbat lunch, with singing and shmoozing with Rabbi Lerner. If you don't hear otherwise, this will be at Rabbi Lerner's home, but we are still looking for the perfect location.

Torah Study at the Rabbi's House--Parshat Mishpatim

On Saturday morning services begin at 9:15 a.m. and torah study at 10:00 a.m. Please bring a yummie vegetarian dish to share for the pot-luck meal that will follow our studies. We will read the weekly torah portion in English and then discuss it's potential meanings both for people of the ancient world and for us today. This week we will read Parshat Mishpatim (Exodus 21:1-24:18 and Haftorah Kings 11:17-12:17)

These Saturdays at Beyt Tikkun are a great way to engage with people in meaningful conversation and to learn new ways of thinking about Judaism and religion in general.No knowledge of Hebrew is presumed. All discussions are in English. Please bring a yummie pot-luck dish to share for the celebratory meal following the torah study.

Shabbat at the Rabbi's House--a joyous Friday night celebration

Marcia Diaz — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 10:39:19 -0800

Treat yourself to a Friday night at the Rabbi's house. We start with Kabbalat Shabbat, meditation and songs to lift our spirits, and then proceed to the evening service. After this we share a celebratory pot-luck vegetarian meal with good conversation and good food. We usually end the evening by singing shabbat zimrot, songs of joy and praise.

No knowledge of Hebrew is required. Please DO bring a yummie vegetarian dish to share for the pot-luck meal. These shabbats at the Rabbi's house are open to all and a great place to meet new people and make new friends.
