Let’s talk about Racial Justice!
Sunday, June 28, 7-9pm in our Zoom room!

The Reform movement has been wrestling with the issues of racial justice for some time. Join us at CBI as we watch a short video together featuring three Reform Jews discussing the challenges they face as Jews of color. We will also discuss the URJ’s recent statement on Black Lives Matter, and have time to brainstorm next steps within our own community. Facilitated by Rabbis Pam Wax and Rachel Barenblat.
