Dear friend,
I wanted to extend my personal invitation to join Jewish Funds
for Justice for our celebration of Sukkot in Los Angeles. It
will be an opportunity to meet other likeminded folks from the
community and explore the meaning of this holiday. See below for
all of the details.
Best,
Mik
Please join us for
Pursuing Justice in the In-Between
A night of celebration and conversation for the festival of
Sukkot.
As Jews and as change makers, we live in between the world as it
is and the world as it should be. Sukkot gives us an opportunity
to pause in our daily pursuit of justice, celebrate the fruits
of our labor, and replenish our spirits for the year ahead. We
build a fragile sukkah, a temporary dwelling between
nature and the human-made world, which represents both
protection and exposure. Simultaneously, it is customary to open
our temporary home to guests, creating and celebrating
community. As we spend seven days in the sukkah, we learn
how to live in vulnerability and openness.
Join us to celebrate Sukkot and explore with Simon Greer and
guest speakers how working in community makes possible our
pursuit of justice in the in-between.
NEW! We are excited to welcome our speakers for the
evening:
Rabbi Elianna Yolkut, Adat Ari El, North Hollywood
Madeline Janis, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Los Angeles
Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE)
Ali Barar, Architect, Gonzalez Goodale Architects
