Justice and Jewish Thought First Day of Class
For twelve weeks this summer, JUFJ members will gather to explore how race, class, and gender & sexual identity intersect with and affect our identities as Jews and our work for social justice. JUFJ is proud to be able to offer this new class for the first time.
We will meet for twelve consecutive Wednesday evenings, beginning on June 25 and ending on September 10; each session will last two hours. Advance readings will include works by Judith Plaskow, Melanie Kaye/Kantrowitz, Audre Lorde, Paul Kivel, and many others. Classes will be discussion-based, facilitated by participants, and held in participants' homes around the DC area.
This summer, Justice and Jewish Thought can accommodate 12-15 participants.
Applications are due by Sunday, June 8.
