“SHED TALKS – Shir Hadash’s version of TED Talks” – We begin with a brief Kabbalah Shabbat to welcome the Shabbat with song and story. Then, Shir Hadash members offer personal reflections on life, living, and Judaism.

Tonight's Speaker: Nathaniel Arons - "A Tale of Two Trips: Delivering Disaster Relief for Texas"

Recently, Shir Hadash, along with other local organizations, participated in a small scale disaster relief effort to help the people of Texas during and in the immediate aftermath of their winter weather emergency. In this SHED-talk Nathaniel Arons will discus how and why this particular relief effort was organized and the impact our community (Shir Hadash) had on the locals of Nacogdoches. Additionally, Nat will discuss some basic best (and worst) practices for organizing and executing small scale volunteer based disaster relief efforts using the narrative of this trip and the people involved as examples.
