Operation Reconnect Launched
November 3, 2009
Many thanks to so many of you who attended Friday night services, as well as other meetings over the weekend with Rabbi Mordechai Liebling. We came together as a community to begin our work to move Havurah Shalom forward through Operation Reconnect. Friday night, we heard from Rabbi Liebling about the various stages of congregations and where Havurah fits in that cycle.
A cornerstone of Operation Reconnect will be one-on-one conversations between members lasting about 30-40 minutes. Members who will be taking a lead on getting these conversations scheduled had the opportunity to meet with Rabbi Liebling this weekend for training.
When you get a call or email over the next couple of weeks from a member asking to connect, please make some time in your schedule to participate in this short, but meaningful conversation. We aren’t going to be able to reach every member but we will do our best to reach as many of you as possible. However, if you aren’t contacted in the next couple of weeks and are interested in participating then please contact Chris Coughlin.
We are hoping to schedule 250 – 300 Operation Reconnect conversations over the next 10 weeks, so we could use a few more people to help. (We have about 40 trained community representatives already!) There will be a second training session in a couple of weeks for community representatives who initiate and will lead these conversations. If you are interested in being trained and helping with the conversations, please contact Havurah’s Community Organizer, Chris Coughlin.
