Rabbi Sandra Lawson will be joining CAA for a series of three conversations about race and racism in the Jewish community and beyond. In the first, Rabbi Lawson sets the stage for our community reflections with an interactive program and sharing parts of her personal story. The second session will build on the first, as Rabbi Lawson invites Rabbi Spitzer to join her in an open dialog about confronting racism within ourselves—this session will also include a musical Havdalah service. Finally, the third session will be a guided text study on Creating an Inclusive Judaism for the Future. Rabbi Lawson is a chaplain at Elan University and views the world through a Black and queer lens—her voice is an important one for us to engage with deeply.

Join Congregation Agudat Achim for a three-part conversation about race and racism.
