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 are bringing to the East Side Jews & SIJCC 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 a piece from Tablet Mag, “The Festive Meal: When Yom Kippur was a time to eat, drink, and be merry” by Eddy Portnoy.  Join us as we begin to discuss the decadent (and literally riotous) Yom Kippur balls of the past, and whether there’s anything we can learn today from these unique expressions of Judaism. ESJ will also be offering a Yom Kippur afternoon panel specifically about Yom Kippur balls of the past and present. To attend that workshop, please Register here for High Holiday related events with SIJCC.

Please read the article prior to this meeting, or just come excited to hear people discuss it!
