Jewish subject matter, whether it be the Sabbath that arrives weekly or festivals and holidays in their cyclical order and season throughout the year, provide a wonderful, safe and complex foundation for a circle of conversation and getting acquainted in the emerging community. By way of trial and error we created different meetings based on this material, which we've borrowed from the "Nigun Halev" congregation, which is Corinne's and my Jewish home-community. Over time, we have opened up the team of facilitators and invited a growing number of male and female members to take an active part in planning and leading these gatherings.
