BETH HAMON is a teacher, artist, musician and bicycle mechanic living in Portland Oregon, who came into her Judaism later in life. Not long after joining a synagogue community for the first time, she was recruited to teach there and her Jewish journey blossomed further. Her journey continues today, and she looks forward to sharing with us.

All events take place at Temple Beth El, 2702 Arbor Drive, Madison, except the Open House & House Concert on Sunday. That will take place at the home of David and Aleeza Hoffert. RSVP for the address at http://bit.ly/tbescholar2016
