Recon Lab: Who is the Stranger?

Saturday, February 14, 2026 27 Sh'vat 5786

10:00 AM - 11:30 AMOn Zoom Only

 

Mishpatim means "laws," and our Torah portion, Mishpatim, is full of laws attempting to make life more fair for all. We are specifically told we must protect "the widow, the orphan, and the stranger." The first two are self-explanatory, while the third is thornier. 

Come discuss with us! We always try to choose a theme that will allow us to discuss both the Torah portion and what is going on in our lives.

Recon Lab is a place to (in the words of our founder Ed Towbin, z"l) "connect our energies" through sometimes-provocative, reconstructed, human-centered musical prayer and discussion.

Come ready to try out some different prayer/song-words • hear a drash by Pat on Torah Portion Mishpatim • and partake in a thoughtful discussion led by Laurie. With lots of music led by Hal Aqua.

As with all Shabbat morning services at B’nai Havurah, there will be a chance to recite Healing Prayer and Kaddish in community. 

Recon Lab is Pat Madsen, Laurie Cohn, Debbie Goodman, Risa Aqua, and Hal Aqua.
