Discussions of Jewish Interest and Concern
Discussions of Jewish Interest and Concern
All Hakafa adults are invited to join us at the Takiff Center (999 Green Bay Road, Glencoe) on Sunday mornings from 10:35 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for discussions of Jewish interest and concern led by Rabbi Elder, local experts, and congregation members that will focus on three general topics:
- Jewish Unity - Questions to be addressed include: Does Jewish unity exist? Should it? How do Jews from various religious, political, and social realities view one another? What will this mean for the Jewish community in years to come?
- Social Justice in the Current Political Climate – Questions include: Racism in the Jewish community – what is our role in it? What is the history of Jews in the Labor Movement? Do we Jews have a special responsibility to address immigration injustices and refugee rights?
- Issues Impacting our Personal Lives - Topics will include: Jewish Mindfulness; Parenting Teens: lessons from a Jewish Mother; Caring for an aging parent; and, Supporting a transgender child.
