The Jewish Call to Social Justice: Interfaith Community Organizing in Ferguson, MO - Sunday, February 26th at 11am.

Sarah Barasch-Hagans, rabbinic intern, calls us to use our voices to be part of positive social change.

 

Sarah is a 4th year student at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in Philadelphia and comes from St. Louis, MO. She is the Founder of the Fargesn Media Project, a documentary examining the intersections of Blackness and Judaism in the Ferguson Movement. 

Protest, Power, and We the People Wednesday, February 22nd, 7:30 pm

Today’s challenges are echoed in the Purim and Passover stories. Each of those narratives highlights the resistance to injustice, but in different ways. Both focus on the use of power to remedy an oppressive system.

 

Rabbi Ariann will lead us in a discussion with biblical text as a jumping-off point to today’s issues.What is the power of our citizenry today? What is effective resistance? How much power do everyday people have? Do religious groups have an advantage in their voices being heard? Bring your ideas, optimism, skepticism, and information you have of already well-organized local and national efforts. All are welcome.
