SUMMARY:Canceled: "Our Tears Are the Same": Bereaved Israelis and Palestinians Reach for Peace
DESCRIPTION:Due to the snowstorm\, this program has been postponed until further notice. \nJoin us as we welcome two inspirational speakers – Israeli and Palestinian – from The Parents Circle – Families Forum. The Parents Circle-Families Forum is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization made up of more than 800 bereaved families. Their common bond is that they have lost a close family member to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But\, instead of choosing revenge\, they have chosen a path of reconciliation and of pursuing a peaceful\, safe shared society in the Middle East. Tens of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians have been positively impacted by the work of The Parents Circle and by their shared embrace of the sanctity of human life. We are honored to welcome Elana Kaminka (an Israeli-American whose son was killed on October 7th) and Arab Aramin (a resident of East Jerusalem whose sister – at the age of ten – was killed outside her school by a border officer). This promises to be a moving and meaningful evening. If you have any questions\, please contact Rabbi Jay (jperlman@tbsneedham.org).

SUMMARY:America@250: Our Nation\, Our Democracy\, and Our Jewish Community
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, the United States will celebrate 250 years of independence. In Judaism\, historic milestones invite introspection and a repledging of oneself to foundational values. Over the past several years\, non-partisan organizations like Bright Line Watch\, which regularly monitor the health of American democracy have noted that democratic norms and institutions have weakened. These groups consider such values-rooted conventions as the state of free and fair elections\, free speech\, and equal application of the law. As well\, importantly\, the Jewish community is directly affected by the state of our democracy. Historically\, the safety of Jews and our ability to flourish have long been dependent upon healthy American democratic norms and protections. \nAs an essential outgrowth of Temple Beth Shalom’s Tzedek/Justice work\, TBS is organizing to support the strengthening of our democracy. This engagement is rooted in our commitment to both civic responsibility and to Judaism’s core values of fostering a righteous\, fair society. To this end\, on Thursday evening March 5th\, we are grateful for the opportunity to welcome Aaron Dorfman\, the CEO of A More Perfect Union: The Jewish Partnership for Democracy. The Jewish Partnership for Democracy is a non-partisan initiative that has brought together over 200 Jewish organizations – across denominations\, geographies\, and political beliefs – to fortify American civic life. As we commemorate our nation’s semiquincentennial\, join us as we partner to reinforce and uphold the democracy that both binds our nation and grounds our Jewish community.
