Calendar of Events

Shabbat Dinner with Breakout Room Option 7:00-7:30 pm
What Queen Esther and Rosa Parks Had in Common: 7:30-8:30 pm
After dinner, featured speaker Noam Zion will discuss:
Both Queen Esther and Rosa Parks came from oppressed communities. Both made the bold decision to stand up -- or, in the case of Rosa Parks, to sit down -- and be counted. What gave them the courage to accept their calling, and to risk their lives and those of their families? What emboldened them to confront hostile authorities? What did they draw on to persuade those indifferent to their persecution to intervene? Q&A to follow. Click here to participate.

The Power of Sisterhood in the Face of Oppression:
12:30-1:30 pm
Join our featured Shabbaton Speaker:
In the light of recent protests over systemic racial injustice, we will examine Exodus 1-2, in which Pharaoh's policies of oppression are confronted by a coalition, a sisterhood, of courageous women across racial, religious, and class divides. We will explore how these women challenge traditional gender assumptions and introduce a new, unique, female style of coalition politics. Q&A to follow. Click here to participate.
