“Every year, Martin Luther King Day seems to correspond with the reading in synagogues around the world of the story of Moses standing before Pharaoh demanding “Let My People Go.” As a person of faith, I do not believe that to be a coincidence, nor will I allow it to be.” Read Rabbi Davidson’s post in The Times of Israel–January 18, 2021.
The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center will celebrate our richly diverse experience through the personal stories of four prominent Black Jews who will talk about life as a minority within a minority and discuss what the Jewish community needs to do to turn the word inclusion into a reality.
Gather is Emanu-El’s small groups initiative, bringing together people from across our community to learn, connect and grow. Check out the Gather page for updated groups.
