Dear Congregational Rabbis, Cantors, Presidents, Executive Directors, and Educators,
During this time of deep concern about the coronavirus, we have been in communication with many lay leaders, staff, and rabbis serving our affiliates. In this message, we’d like to share some information about what we’re doing to try to be helpful to the leaders of our communities.
The Reconstructionist movement has helped define the vanguard of social justice in the Jewish community, advancing causes from equality for women and the LGBT community, to interfaith dialogue. Given our limited resources, our strategy is to concentrate on a single area of social justice for a few years at a time.
Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D. spoke at the Chautaqua Insitution about divine justice, about good and evil and about God’s presence, plans, and love in the face of what seems to be unearned suffering.
Sarah Brammer-Shlay and Donna Cephas, both recipients of the 2019 Auerbach Entrepreneurial Grant program, offer new visions for understanding community and difficult conversations through their innovative projects.
