♦Upcoming Programs
♦Book Discussion, Caste, on January 28th following services.
Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson’s book Caste formed the basis for our Yom Kippur dvar torah. We encourage people to read the book. After Friday night services, David Marker and Rabbi Blumenthal will lead a discussion. What can we learn from its comparisons of the experiences of Black people in the United States, Dalit (untouchables) in India, and Jews in Nazi Germany? What is the legacy of historic practices on current events (anti-Semitism, structural racism, etc.)?
Caste was a NY Times bestseller and featured in Oprah’s book club. It makes a wonderful Hannukah gift for family members. While we encourage everyone to read the book before our January discussion, feel free to join the discussion even if you’ve only heard the dvar torah! See you on January 28th.
