Saturday, February 18, 6:30-9:30 pm MINYAN SHARING  Do you ever wish you could know some of our community members in contexts other than Shabbat? Do you wonder what others' lives are like? Would you like to share more of yourself?

Here's your chance. Come to a classic Minyan Sharing. Using a format developed early in the Minyan's life, we will each have some time, in a supportive atmosphere, to talk about ourselves a little, share whatever we like, and then have some general personal discussion.

6:30 dinner potluck, 7:30 sharing. Requested donation, $10-20 for the benefit of the Minyan.

At Abigail and Shoshana's house. Call 843-3131 for address & directions.     

Wednesday, March 7th beginning at 7 pm, come to see "Occupy Purim!"
The Minyan Returns to Ashkenaz with Music by Adama with Achi Ben Shalom. With a salute to the past and a wave to the future, the Aquarian Minyan is returning to Ashkenaz for Purim in style. We will dance to the music of Adama, relish a fabulous political shpiel "Occupy Purim," and hear the whole Megilla. Our talented and faithful Purim Shpielers are hard at work preparing a shpiel in the great tradition we love. In the wonderful nightclub atmosphere of Ashkenaz, in our costumed best we will strut our stuff, laugh, eat, drink, and enjoy the kind of ultimate Purim party the Minyan has always been known for. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring everybody! Come to Ashkenaz, 1317 San Pablo Ave, just south of Gilman.
