Visioning Our World Anew
The confluence of a global pandemic, social upheaval, and increasingly devastating weather-related disasters have heightened urgent questions about society, community and the fate of our planet. Join us for an in-depth conversation with Heather McGhee, Rabbi Benay Lappe, and Dr. Laurie Zoloth. Drawing from their respective expertise in the fields of social and economic policy, Jewish history and rabbinics, and ethics and theology, our speakers will discuss how we can use the crises of the past two years as an opportunity to reimagine and rebuild our world in a new image.
We are pleased to offer this program at “pay what you wish” pricing to maximize accessibility. Please consider making a contribution to help cover the costs.
This program is the launch of BJ’s yearlong study of shemita, the sabbatical year, and its spiritual and ethical implications for our lives.
