Community Vigil
Tuesday, June 6

We will join with HIAS and organizations around the world to honor those lost when the U.S. closed its doors to the S.S. St. Louis and to bear witness to history repeating itself for refugees today. As we approach the time when the annual Presidential Determination is made for the maximum number of refugees resettled in the U.S. in a given year, it has never been more important to ensure that our voices are heard loud and clear that the US needs to remain a welcome country.

Saturday, June 10, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

This musical, meditative, and participatory prayer experience is a chance to open your heart through song, to sink into the peace and joy of Shabbat, and to find a meaningful personal connection to the Torah portion and to others in our community. “Kol Neshama” means “voice of the soul/breath.” No Hebrew knowledge required.

Book Discussion
The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
Saturday, June 10, 1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.

A national 1963 bestseller, The Fire Next Time gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin’s early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, it consists of two “letters,” written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Read it and join us in discussion as we continue to keep racial justice issues in the forefront of our community’s consciousness.
Buy the book on Amazon/Audible or Barnes & Noble.
