SUMMARY:The Scroll of Mordekhai: Everything Upside Down
DESCRIPTION:Join special guests Tamar Biala and Yael Karenak for a reading of the regendered Megillat Esther from the Toratah Project\, an initiative to regender the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) by reversing the genders of all characters.  \nRegister Now\nYou can also explore the Scroll of Mordekhai online. \nTamar Biala has taught in various batei midrash\, rabbinical schools\, and adult education programs in the United States and Israel. At the Shalom Hartman Institute she trained teachers and IDF army officers. She is the co-editor of Dirshuni (Volume I) with Nehama Weingarten-Mintz and in 2018\, edited Volume II. She has recently completed an English edition of Dirshuni\, to be published by Brandeis University Press. Currently she is working with Yael Kanarek on the Toratah project: Regendering the Jewish Bible. Learn more on her blog.  \nYael Kanarek has been a practicing visual artist and jewelry designer working across various media for 30 years. In her work\, she explores the role of language and narrative in forming a worldview. In 2016\, after a decade of Kabbalah studies in the tradition of Baal Hasulam and in response to the stunning void of canonical literature that codifies women’s experiences in the sacred\, she began rewriting the Torah by reversing the genders of all characters. In 2019\, Tamar Biala joined the initiative\, and in 2020\, they founded Beit Toratah. Yael Kanarek earned her MFA in Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute\, NY.

SUMMARY:The Pursuit of Prosperity and Equity in America Today
DESCRIPTION:The biblical practice of shemita (sabbatical year) includes mandates to cancel outstanding debts between borrowers and lenders\, and to relinquish personal ownership of land and its crop. How should we think about these mandates in the context of contemporary economics\, wealth distribution\, and philanthropy? Conversely\, how might we assess the state of our global economy\, and the world’s growing wealth gap in light of these mandates?  \nJoin B’nai Jeshurun and Harvard Hillel for three unique events that bring leading thinkers into conversation with the ancient ideas of shemita and their potential application to our world today. Income and wealth inequality have grown rapidly in the United States in recent decades\, with the potential to tear at the strength of our economy\, social fabric and even our democracy. What tools from traditional models of capitalism might address such inequities\, and what can new approaches to economic development and civic engagement offer? Join Dayna Cunningham\, dean of the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University and N. Gregory Mankiw\, Harvard economist and former chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisors\, in a conversation moderated by Lavea Brachman\, visiting fellow at Brookings Metro\, a research program of the Brookings Institute. \nRegister Now\nDayna L. Cunningham is Dean of the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University. Previously\, she was the founder of the Community Innovators Lab at MIT where she built large-scale\, multi-sector development collaborations that combined sustainability\, wellness\, and democratic control of economies in marginalized communities. \nN. Gregory Mankiw is the Robert M. Beren Professor of Economics at Harvard University. A prolific writer\, his research includes work on price adjustment\, consumer behavior\, financial markets\, monetary and fiscal policy\, and economic growth. He served as the Chair of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers under President George w. Bush. \n  \nThis event is the third in a series of three. You can learn more about the first event here and second event here.

SUMMARY:Torah for Our Time with Rabbi Michelle Dardashti
DESCRIPTION:Join Rabbi Michelle Dardashti for the final installment of Torah for our Time\, exploring how we encounter fear in a Jewish context. \nThis six-part series—taught by alumni of the Marshall T. Meyer Rabbinic Fellowship—brings the wisdom of our tradition to some of the deepest themes of our time. \nRegister Now\nRabbi Michelle Dardashti (Marshall T. Meyer Fellow 2009-2011) serves as Associate University Chaplain for the Jewish Community at Brown University and Rabbi at Brown RISD Hillel. The daughter of an American folk-singer/teacher and an Iranian-born cantor\, Rabbi Dardashti was raised on a brand of Judaism that is multicultural\, meta-denominational\, musical and global. She became a rabbi to share the gifts her parents’ eclectic Judaism afforded her: passion\, hope\, wonder\, gratitude\, empathy\, responsibility and joy. \nDardashti was ordained and received an MA in Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary. She came to Brown in 2013 after serving as the Marshall T. Meyer Fellow at Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in Manhattan and Director of Community Engagement at Temple Beth El in Stamford\, CT. At Brown\, Dardashti nourishes a Judaism that is broad and deep and engaged with the world. She represents Judaism at university events and multifaith programs and nurtures Jewish life at Hillel through teaching\, leading (and supporting students in leading) services\, and creating alternative platforms for spiritual engagement\, including monthly Women’s Rosh Hodesh (New Moon) gatherings\, weekly “JIM Sits” (JIM-Jewishly Inspired Meditation—a workout for the soul) and Kivun\, a musical and soulful prayer experience. She has also birthed a number of initiatives that critically explore allyship\, antisemitism\, activism\, and the American Jewish relationship to Israel. Among these are the Hillel Initiative for Racial Awareness and Justice and the Narrow Bridge Project and Fellowship; the latter were recently covered by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. \nRabbi Dardashti has spent time living and working in the Jewish community of Montevideo\, Uruguay as well as four years in Jerusalem\, where she was a student at Hebrew University\, a Dorot Fellow\, and a volunteer and staff member at a number of NGOs working in the realms of democracy\, dialogue and cross-cultural exchange. Her writings have appeared in The Forward\, Jewschool and Siddur Lev Shalem (2016)\, and in three recent books: One Nation\, Indivisible: Seeking Liberty and Justice from the Pulpit to the Streets (2019)\, Chaver Up: Allyship Through A Modern Jewish Lens (2021) and Jewish Theological Grace: Drashot In Honor of Chancellor Arnold M. Eisen (2022\, forthcoming). She is also a 2021 Pedagogies of Wellbeing Research Fellow through M²: The Institute for Experiential Jewish Education. \nRabbi Dardashti is married to Nathan Sher. Together they have three children: Eden (born while Michelle was at BJ ;)\, Miya (born in CT)\, and Lavi (born in RI).

SUMMARY:Volunteer Training to Support Afghan Families
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Good Counsel Services Inc.\, join a training session on filing Humanitarian Parole applications for Afghan nationals and their families. Open to lawyers\, law students\, and anyone interested in volunteering (no legal experience needed)\, the training will cover the contents of an application\, how to evaluate whether individuals are eligible for Humanitarian Parole\, the filing of petitions and other necessary documents. After the training\, you will be able to volunteer your time with Good Counsel to support Afghan families who need legal support. \nRegister Now\nBackground \n Good Counsel Services is a non-profit organization based in New York City providing legal services to a wide variety of clients. Although the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has ended\, hundreds of individuals in Afghanistan still are at risk of persecution under the Taliban government and wish to flee. Since August 2021\, Good Counsel Services has been assisting vulnerable Afghan nationals and their families by filing Humanitarian Parole applications on their behalf\, which\, if approved\, would allow them to come to the United States temporarily. \nWe Need Your Help \nGood Counsel Services continues to receive requests from Afghan families who are in danger and want to file for Humanitarian Parole. However\, the organization doesn’t have the capacity to process these cases on their own. Their Legal Team is currently soliciting attorneys and other legal professionals\, law students\, and volunteers (no legal experience required) to help process Humanitarian Parole requests\, gather documentation\, and file Humanitarian Parole applications on behalf of Afghan families.
