Examine the merits of tsedakah, the Jewish tradition of social justice through charitable works, and the role progressive Jews can play in public affairs and social policy. Abbie Gorin, a teacher, writer and Essex-Newark Legal Services attorney representing tenants and homeowners, will discuss tsedakah as interpreted by Jill Jacobs, executive director of Rabbis For Human Rights—North America, former rabbi-in-residence of Jewish Funds for Justice, and author of There Shall Be No Needy: Pursuing Social Justice Through Jewish Law and Tradition.
Hosted by progressive Jewish writer and scholar Bennett Muraskin, this free monthly session of the the Jewish Cultural School & Society's (JCSS) adult education series is open to all. Bring your friends!
