In this time when issues of race and racism divide our nation and weigh heavily upon our hearts, we have been given the opportunity and the moral imperative to examine, more deeply, issues of race as they relate to us in our personal lives and as they impact our communities and the soul of our nation. Join Rabbi Tara for the second part of a 10 session Lunch & Learn Zoom class exploring issues of race from a Jewish perspective. Class discussions will draw upon biblical texts, rabbinic commentary, modern day Jewish responses, guest speakers and two books:
