SUMMARY:Confronting Problematic Passages in the Passover Haggadah with Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller
DESCRIPTION:Many of us are familiar with troubling parts of the Haggadah that serve as ‘texts of terror’ and herald vengeance. How could it be that our Festival of Liberation\, with its inherent message of universal freedom\, would foster hatred\, separation and vengeful fantasies as part of its redemptive vision? Join Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller in exploration of these texts with recommendations for new modes of reinterpretation\, repair and redemption. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Eric Mendelsohn: Synagogue Architect with a Vision with Michael Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Between the years 1946 and 1953\, the American\, German-Jewish architect Eric Mendelsohn designed seven synagogues in the Midwest\, four of which were actually built.  Mendelsohn’s synagogues were a crowning conclusion of his career.  In his book\, Eric Mendelsohn’s Synagogues in America\, photographer Michael Palmer records in detail these four Mendelsohn synagogues\, located in Saint Paul\, Saint Louis\, Cleveland\, and Grand Rapids. Palmer will use his photographs as the foundation for a discussion about Mendelsohn\, his Jewish identity\, and his architectural mission. Palmer will also explain how the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 affected Mendelsohn’s plans and how Mendelsohn sought to create radically new architectural solutions for American houses of worship that uniquely met the functional\, social\, and spiritual demands of their respective\, diverse Jewish communities.   \nRegister Now\nABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael Palmer is a photographer whose work has explored the architectural legacy and relevance of the German Jewish exodus from Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. His first photo book documents previously ignored aspects of 1930s buildings in Tel Aviv’s historic “White City” district\, a center for German and other central European refugees in the 1930s. Palmer’s most recent work focuses on the buildings of the noted German Jewish architect Eric Mendelsohn\, including Mendelsohn’s breakthrough Einstein Tower near Berlin\, synagogues in Saint Louis\, Cleveland\, Saint Paul and Grand Rapids\, as well as his buildings in Israel. Michael began his photography career in 2015 with the Tel Aviv White City project.  Previously\, he had a career in pharmaceutical industry research and development.

SUMMARY:The Crisis in Homelessness: Root Causes & Potential Solutions
DESCRIPTION:In this third program in our series on the Crisis of Homelessness in New York\, we will continue to hear from organizations led by people directly impacted about the solutions they are fighting for. Marcus Moore from Picture the Homeless will discuss the roots of the crisis in housing in NYC\, including the policies around shelter and permanent housing that have led to the crisis we are in today and their daily impacts on those experiencing homelessness. Kassandra Frederick from the Drug Policy Alliance will discuss the lack of housing for all has dovetailed with discriminatory policy. Most importantly we’ll hear solutions from grassroots organizers about how they are part of a movement to create stable\, long-term housing for all and stop the criminalization of homeless New Yorkers. All are welcome. \nRegister Now\nSponsored by: SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All\, B’nai Jeshurun\, Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan\, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ)\, Fourth Universalist Society in the City of New York\, St. Paul & St. Andrew\, West End Synagogue\, Darkhei Noam\, Kehilat Reyim Ahuvim \nSpeakers: \nMarcus Moore\, Board member of Picture the Homeless\nMarcus Moore is a board member of Picture the Homeless (PTH) and a poet. Marcus has led organizing work at PTH ranging from working for Community Land Trusts\, permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness\, and to end discriminatory policing. Of his participation in PTH he says\, “I was born in Brooklyn but raised in Bergen County New Jersey. When I moved back to NYC I got a job working security…. I couldn’t pay rent. I didn’t want to go into the system\, but what else could I do? In the shelter\, I found a flyer for some place called Picture the Homeless. It wasn’t a job\, so none of the other guys in the shelter were interested\, but I saw “Civil Rights” and “Housing Rights” and I said\, ‘I need to be a part of this.’ What excited me about PTH was the people in the room…. They looked just like me\, they weren’t wealthy\, but they knew the system backwards and forwards… I was feeling unbalanced and dis-empowered\, and I didn’t have the vocabulary to express it or do something about it\, but working alongside other homeless people showed me how.” \nKassandra Frederick\, Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance\nBorn and raised on the Upper West Side\, Kassandra Frederique is the executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance\, a national nonprofit that works to end the war on drugs—which has disproportionately harmed Black\, Latinx\, Indigenous\, immigrant\, and LGBTQ communities—and build alternatives grounded in science\, compassion\, health\, and human rights. Kassandra worked with Communities United for Police Reform\, hand in hand with partner organizations like PTH\, to end discriminatory policing targeting homeless New Yorkers\, BIPOC communities and low-income New Yorkers. She has been featured in the New York Times\, MSNBC\, USA Today\, National Public Radio\, and the Netflix documentary Grass is Greener. She has received numerous awards\, including the Activist Award from SEIU32BJ\, New York City Council Women of Distinction\, VOCAL New York’s Joe Bostic Advocacy Award\, National Advocates for Pregnant Women Emerging Leader award\, and was recognized on both Essence Magazine’s Woke 100 and The Root’s ROOT100. A New Yorker\, Frederique holds a M.S. in Social Work from Columbia University and a B.S. in Industrial Labor Relations at Cornell University.
