Shabbat Dinner May 23, 2008

Are you seeking connections to Jewish life and community?

Do you wonder about basic Jewish beliefs, and where they come from?

Then this event is for YOU!

Does Jewish Tradition Require Us to Forgive?

"Forgive and forget," the saying goes -- but is it always wrong to hold a grudge? What wrongs -- if any -- are truly unforgiveable?

Join us to explore these questions Friday, May 23.

We will share a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, eat, laugh, and learn. All are welcome.

Time: 6:15 PM
Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station
Childcare: available by reservation

After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:
6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Rabbi Bridget Wynne will lead a lively interactive teaching on Jewish teachings on forgiveness, and how we might -- or might not -- apply them to our lives
8:15 - Dessert and schmoozing (time to hang out and chat)
Space is limited, so RSVP is required.

Please contact Rabbi Bridget Wynne at Jewish Gateways, (510) 559-8140, or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org, for more information, and to make a reservation and get directions and your food assignment. If your schedule doesn't allow you to bring a dish to share, we offer you the option of contributing $7 toward the dinner.

Jewish Gateways welcomes wandering or wondering Jews and non-Jews, singles, couples, and families, those in interfaith and multiracial relationships, Jews-by-Choice, adult children of interfaith families, members of the LGBT community, and people of color. We are ready to help you explore Jewish choices and discover those that work for you.
