Is it possible for people on polarizing sides of sensitive issues to have conversation yet remain civil and perhaps even learn from one another?
Local synagogues Har Shalom (Highland Park) and Temple Beth-El (Northbrook) were inspired by much of the contentious debate currently filling our culture to try to offer something better with the upcoming program: Oh, for Heaven's Sake! Torah, Politics, and Difficult Conversations.
Join us on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. for friendly debate and lively discussion at Temple Beth-El, 3610 Dundee Road in Northbrook.
