SUMMARY:Gesher Summer Internships and Career Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:BJ is excited to offer an evening of learning and connection for college students as they consider career paths and summer internship possibilities. We’ll be hosting a Zoom panel to discuss the topic and would also like to offer help both with navigating the application process and by serving as “matchmaker” for existing opportunities. \nWe are working to put together a panel of members that represents a cross-section of industries so that we can have breakout rooms. Please let us know if you will attend and what types of positions you are interested by January 28. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Israeli Authors Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Can women truly choose to remain child-free\, acting against traditional Israeli social expectations? That is the central question in our December book pick\, Sarah Blau’s propulsive psychological thriller\, The Others\, named for the Torah’s designation for childless women. When one of the country’s preeminent feminist scholars is murdered\, her former friend Sheila could be the next victim… or the primary suspect.   \nRegister Now\nIn January\, we’ll be reading The Slaughterman’s Daughter by Yavniv Iczkovitz\, which bills itself as “an epic historical novel where ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ meets Tarantino.” More to come on this hefty novel (432 pages) that you may want to dig into early! \n

SUMMARY:An Economist Reads the Bible
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. When economics meets theology\, interesting ideas emerge. Harvard professor Benjamin M. Friedman\, author of Religion and the Rise of Capitalism\, discusses the role of religion in the development of economic systems\, and talks Torah with Rabbi Shuli Passow (BJ) and Rabbi Dani Passow (Harvard Hillel). \nRegister Now\nBenjamin M. Friedman is the William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy\, and formerly Chairman of the Department of Economics\, at Harvard University. He joined the Harvard faculty in 1972. Mr. Friedman’s newest book\, to be published by Knopf in January 2021\, is Religion and the Rise of Capitalism – a fundamental reassessment of the foundations of current-day economics\, showing how religious thinking has shaped economic thinking ever since the beginnings of modern Western economics and how this influence continues to be relevant today especially in the United States. His two other general interest books have been The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth (Knopf) and Day of Reckoning: The Consequences of American Economic Policy Under Reagan and After (Random House). \nThis event is the first in a series of three. You can learn more about the second event here and the third event here.

SUMMARY:Let’s Talk About Prayer with Rabbi Roly Matalon
DESCRIPTION:Formal Jewish prayer on a regular basis is challenging for most of us. How do we awaken the soul and allow our prayers to flow rather than pray by rote? How do we remain present and engaged as the service unfolds at a swift pace? How do we find new openings to meaning and connection when we recite the same words each day? Join Rabbi Roly Matalon for this three-part series exploring these and other relevant questions about prayer. \nJoin Us on Zoom

SUMMARY:Climate & the Environment: Cultivating a New World
DESCRIPTION:This 5782 shemita year\, as we withdraw from our daily routines of production and consumption and observe a yearlong Shabbat\, we are challenged to envision the world that could be with a particular focus on Climate Change and the Environment. \nJoin us for a panel discussion to learn about innovative solutions to our society’s entrenched challenges and how our community can engage more deeply with the issue of climate change. Our panelists’ work addresses these issues in a myriad of ways (corporate sector\, advocacy\, organizing)\, and will offer rich insights into how we as individuals and as a community can and must play a role in the fight against climate change. \nThe panel will be moderated by Rabbi Jennie Rosenn\, Founder and CEO of Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action and will feature Christina Cobourn Herman\, Program Director for Climate Change & Environmental Justice at the Interfaith Center for Corporate Responsibility; Stephan Edel\, NY Renews Coalition Coordinator; and Anthony Rogers-Wright\, Director of Environmental Justice at New York Lawyers for the Public Interest. \nRegister Now\nRabbi Jennie Rosenn is the Founder and CEO of Dayenu\, a new organization mobilizing the American Jewish community to confront the climate crisis with spiritual audacity and bold political action. Previously\, she served as Vice President for Community Engagement at HIAS\, the Jewish international refugee organization. There she created a strategy to re-introduce the Jewish community to HIAS and led the mobilization of the American Jewish community to respond effectively to the global refugee crisis. Prior to serving at HIAS\, Rabbi Rosenn played a catalytic role in building the Jewish social justice movement as the Director of the Jewish Life and Values Program at the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Under Rabbi Rosenn’s leadership\, the Foundation also worked to cultivate the environmental movement and women as agents of change in Israel.

He previously worked as a union and community organizer before attending law school. He has a JD from The City University of New York School of Law. He also holds a Master’s Degree in Global Politics from Birkbeck College of the University of London. Stephan has worked on campaign research and legislative efforts across issues in New York and other states\, and was involved with NYRenews from early on and has been an active steering committee member. Some of his proudest work is supporting efforts to build a stronger democracy\, a worker-cooperative economy in NYC\, and a strong climate movement across the State.  City and State Magazine named him to the  2020\, and 2021 Energy & Environment Power List.   \nChristina Cobourn Herman is Program Director for Climate Change & Environmental Justice at the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR)\, a 50-year-old coalition of over 300 faith- and values-based institutional investors. She has over 25 years of experience with non-governmental and faith-based advocacy organizations on human rights\, sustainable development and corporate engagement on sustainability issues. Christina coordinates ICCR’s work with investors to encourage a Just Transition to a clean energy economy\, enhanced methane management and disclosure across the natural gas supply chain\, adoption by companies of science-based targets for GHG emissions reductions\, with a focus on the finance sector\, and alignment by companies of their climate lobbying and trade association memberships with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Prior to joining ICCR staff\, Christina represented one of the active faith-based members of the coalition in shareholder advocacy with Fortune 500 corporations\, on a range of environmental and health equity issues. She began her career on human rights and sustainable development issues in the Philippines where she served as a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) volunteer. In subsequent years\, she advocated on human rights and international debt\, trade and development issues in Washington\, DC for faith-based organizations.  \nAnthony Karefa Rogers-Wright serves as NYLPI’s Director of Environmental Justice (EJ). In this capacity\, he guides and coordinates the organization’s EJ strategy\, litigation\, organizing\, and advocacy initiatives. Prior to joining NYLPI\, Anthony was the Policy Coordinator and Green New Deal Policy Lead with the Climate Justice Alliance\, where he assisted with developing and promulgating local\, State\, and federal organizing and policy strategy for the alliance’s 74 grassroots\, frontline-led organizations across the country.

He has acted as a policy advisor for numerous candidates for elected office including Senator Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign in 2020\, and Senator Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaigns in 2020 and 2016.  Anthony was selected as one of the Grist.org “50 Environmentalists You’ll Be Talking About” in 2016 and was recently included on the New York-based City and State Magazine’s annual Energy and Environment Power 100 list. He’s written numerous articles discussing the axiomatic nexus of the climate crisis and racial injustice and has spoken on the subject at universities throughout the U.S. and in Europe. Anthony serves on the Board of Directors of Friends of the Earth\, Backbone Campaign\, and Center for Sustainable Economy\, as well as the Advisory Committee for Evergreen Action\, and is blessed to be the father of his energetic and very loquacious 5-year-old son\, Zahir Cielo (aka “Bean”).
