“Imagine having the entire Jewish people over for dinner—and hosting a raucous, creative, riveting debate about their collective future. Jewish Priorities offers, for the first time, a wide-ranging, ambitious, and genuinely “pan-Jewish” conversation. Encompassing more than sixty top authors from around the Jewish world—Israelis and Diaspora writers; younger influencers and veteran opinion leaders; rabbinic and communal leaders, journalists and scholars, and literary and cultural figures, ranging from secular to ultra-Orthodox—each contributor offers a different priority for the Jewish people. In the process, Jewish Priorities captures the tremendous breadth, depth, and passionate commitment that has long defined this unique community in history." (description for Amazon)
The book club will meet in person at the synagogue on Mondays from 7:30-8:30 on the following schedule (with a big break in the middle for holidays): April 1, 8, 15 May 13, 20, 27

Israel Conversation
Israel Conversation
May 29, 2024 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Temple Shalom (in-person only)
Many of us have felt hesitant to talk about the conflict and how it’s affecting us, unsure how our views and feelings would be met by others in our diverse community. Now, 6 months out, we’ve heard an increasing desire to find ways to talk to each other about this from our respective experiences, as Temple Shalom is our shared Jewish home.
We will hold two sessions, both at Temple Shalom. You are welcome to attend whichever is more convenient for you.
Wednesday 5/29 at 7:30 pm
Sunday 6/2 at 4:00 pm
If, after reading the description below, you would like to participate, please RSVP by Monday May 20th. https://temple-shalom-medford.shulcloud.com/form/gaza-israel-discussion
Purpose: Reaffirm trust within the community that we can continue to respect each other across differences of experience and opinion. This structured, in-person, opportunity to talk and listen is intended for adults (18+ only) to
-
help us reflect on, and share, the impact that the events of October 7th, and all that has transpired since, have had on each of us.
-
help us all to see and hear each other in all the complexity of experience within the Temple Shalom community, and
-
help us understand and care for one another across the different types of pain and concern people are feeling.
Structure: A facilitator will lead the “conversation” using agreed-upon guidelines and reflective questions that allow people to listen closely to one another’s experience, without interruption, challenge, or debate. The prompts will focus on personal experience, internal complexity, and our shared need to be seen and understood with compassion.
