Cashing in on the Change: Inauguration Havdalah and Celebration!
This election season resulted in an historic shift of power- but our work is far from over.
How can we realize our vision for justice in the coming years?
Join Jews United for Justice and the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership for an evening of havdalah, discussion, and celebration preceeding the inauguration of President-Elect Obama.
We're kicking off the night with a powerful Havdalah service led by Tikkun Leil Shabbat, to be followed by a panel and discussion about what the future may hold with three Jewish activsts:
- Ben Brandzel, formerly of MoveOn.org and now an online organizing consultant for progressive organizations such as SEIU and Avaaz.org.
- Ronit Avni, founder of Just Vision, which supports peace builders in the Middle East through media and education.
- Saul Garlick, founder of Student Movement for Real Change, supporting young people in their work for sustainable international development.
