For We Were Strangers in the Land of Egypt: Jews, Whiteness, & Privilege
11:30am in the Beit Midrash (library) @ Congregation Anshai Emeth
What does it mean to be both a minority–a Jew–in the United States, and yet still to benefit from “White Privilege”? And what exactly does it mean to have “White Privilege” if we don’t feel like a part of the majority? Join us this Shabbat morning (May 2nd) immediately following our spiritual and musical davening (services) as we struggle with a Jewish response to the violence against people of color that is a part of everyday life for so many American in St. Louis, in Baltimore, and at home in Peoria.
This should be a challenging and and important opportunity to grow in our own Jewish values and in doing so begin to become allies against oppression, and continue the holy work that we were created for, the work of Tikkun Olam, the work of repairing the world.
