    Loving and Wrestling with Israel: with Rabbi Rick Jacobs

    (All day)

    Location: 

    477 Longwood Ave, Boston, MA 02215, USA
    Even though many recent Israeli government policies are challenging to Reform Jews in North America, we must double down on deepening our connections to our Jewish State. How do we strongly advocate for a Jewish-Democratic state, that promotes equal rights, pluralism, and builds the infrastructure of peace while helping our people fall in love with Israel? That’s the challenge and great opportunity for our movement. Join Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of the Union for Reform Judaism for our Feinberg Lecture.

    When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel walked together during the 1965 March on Selma, they forged a bond between Blacks and Jews committed to the pursuit of racial justice and equal rights for all Americans.  Today, in an age of persistent economic racism and systemic inequality, attempts to renew this bond are hampered by mutual recrimination: Jews are being asked to check their unacknowledged “white privilege;” Blacks are being asked to check their unacknowledged “anti-Semitism.” Is there room for “Jews of Color?” The panelists – civil rights icon Andrew Young,...

    58 Winthrop St, Medford, MA 02155, USA

A Death Cafe is a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session."
