SUMMARY:Social Justice Advocacy Workshop | Session II
DESCRIPTION:“Justice\, justice\, you shall pursue” (Dt. 16:20). Over and over again\, the Torah and Prophets exhort us to protect the widow\, the orphan\, the worker\, the immigrant. The Prophets stood on street corners and in the royal courts\, speaking truth to power\, calling for justice\, compassion\,\nand mercy. In the last century\, Jews have been at the forefront of nearly every civil rights and social justice movement. \nRabbi Bonnie will present “Moving From Charity to Justice: A Workshop in Faithful Advocacy”\, a three-session workshop originally created for Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice (WFVJ). Rhonda Lindner\, interfaith organizer for the Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign\, a project of WFVJ\, will join us for sessions II and III. \nWhat: A three-part series of workshops to learn more about how to put the ideals and values of Tikkun olam (repairing the world)\, a foundational core tenant of Reform Judaism\, into action.
