Peace, Aid and Solidarity in Israel/Palestine: Sharebacks with Shir Tikvah-niks, On zoom and in the Shir Tikvah Library, Register here

5:15PM Oct. 18 - Shabbat Sukkot - Sharon Jaffe: “I am a witness, Rabbis for Ceasefire multifaith delegation to Palestine”

Over a series of summer lectures, our community learned from the activism, heartbreak and struggles of Israeli and Palestinian leaders and thinkers.  This fall, we’ll continue our learning about the vital needs, hopes, and pains of Israelis and Palestinians with a series of sharebacks from Shir Tikvah members.  These Shir Tikvah-niks have recently returned from trips providing advocacy, material support and solidarity to Palestinians and Israelis impacted by violence.  From their stories, we hope to continue to deepen our understanding and empathy and explore models for how American Jews can support the sanctity of Israeli and Palestinian lives.  Bring yourself, your questions and a potluck item or snack to share.
