Mollie Goldstrom: I see a past in ruins and a future in embryo, 2013, intaglio etching, 33 x 33 in. This image functions as an aerial map of a hypothetical garden, planted with every US state flower and tree that is projected to be pushed out of its state by 2080 as a result of climate change.

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 deep into a research, readings, movies, lectures, and determined to explore the Jewish relationship to activism in modern political history.

THIS WEEK:

We’ll be discussing the article “Meditations in an Emergency” by Ari M. Brostoff, and continuing to develop events and opportunities for future virtual programming.
