Who is Jewish? What is Jewish? How we answer this depends in part on who we are and where we are, whether in synagogue, at the JCC, or at work. It also depends on when we speak.
These questions, always complex, take on a different importance in the face of rising antisemitism. Should we be expanding our definitions of Jewishness or contracting them? Come to learn and explore these issues together.
Kosher cookies and coffee will be provided for attendees. Feel free to bring your lunch to nosh.
