EVENTS
"Torah with Maurice Sendak?"
*Virtual Event*
Friday, February 12, 2021 from 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm.
Join us Friday, March 12, 2021 at 7:30 pm for an event put together by one of our very own members Judith Jacobson. For many years, Judy has been giving "d’var torahs" – interpretations of Torah portions – at the two congregations she's been in, and she's almost talked about all 50+ weekly portions! Unlike the typical (boring) sermons of rabbis you may remember, Judy will present three samples which will connect (loosely) the Torah to Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, children's author Maurice Sendak, and Mary Poppins. Hope to see you there!

Jews and Racism in United States History
*Virtual Event*
Friday, February 19, 2021 from 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm.
Join us Friday, March 19 at 7:30 PM as we watch and discuss a YouTube video presentation by Professor Dollinger titled, “Jews and Racism in United States History.” Although some Jews have fought against racism since colonial times, Dollinger focuses on another more disturbing story – how other Jews have supported, condoned, and benefited from anti-Black racism.
Marc Dollinger is the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Professor of Social Responsibility at San Francisco State University. His books include Black Power, Jewish Politics: Reinventing the Alliance in the 1960s, American Jewish History: A Primary Source Reader and Quest for Inclusion: Jews and Liberalism in Modern America.
