AprApril 12 , 2020Canceled: Seder of Gender Liberation
Sunday, Apr 12th 3:00p to 8:00p
All genders and all ages welcome to contribute. The Pesach Haggadah and Passover itself are all about liberation from a kind of enslavement. And this formative story has been understood and re-understood in light of whatever kind of constriction or enslavement the people celebrating it are concerned with, for a few thousand years now. Feminist and gender-related Haggadot flowered in the 1980s, and since, we have liberated ourselves from the constrictions of gender roles and assumptions, and from sexism. Many of us have been a part of this in some way or have incorporated these conversations into our seders. -

AprApril 14 , 2020Rethinking Israel/Palestine
Tuesday, Apr 14th 7:00p to 8:30p
Why did Eastern European Jewry embrace Zionism in the late 1800s?

We’ll address these and many other questions. Taught by Prof. Joel Beinin. Room Aleph This class will be taking place via Zoom only--not in person--while Coronavirus precautions remain in place.
