Political education? In a time like this? YES.
When the world is in chaos there is no better time to look at the successes and strategies of change-makers and movements that have come before us. Our people’s rich history is full of revolutionary ideas and actions, and of course some teachable failures. How much do you know about Jews in modern political struggle? Or in the American labor movement? Or during “Red Scare”? Find out more through communal learning and other exciting virtual resources we’re bringing to the East Side Jews community. This newly formed, radical minyan-ish group is excited to dive into research, essays, movies, and more, to explore the Jewish relationship to activism in modern political history.
All ages and backgrounds are encouraged to join!
THIS WEEK:
We’ll be discussing Seth Rogen’s recent and controversial podcast interview, and Jewish critique of Israel. To hear the original podcast interview with Rogen tune in here, minutes 26-40. The reading for discussion is Mondoweiss article, "How Seth Rogen’s serious concerns about human rights and Zionism have turned into dispiriting Jewish shtik".
