Unorthodox: How Young Jewish Activists Are Changing the World
Wed Nov 8 2006
7:30 pm-9:30 pm
Join NIF’s New Generations for an evening featuring a dynamic panel of social activists. From fostering Jewish-Muslim dialogue to creating an online hub of progressive Jewish life, combating U.S.-sponsored torture and advocating for Arab citizens of Israel, these young leaders each offer a powerful alternative voice within the Jewish community. We’ll hear from Ari Alexander, co-executive director of Children of Abraham; Dan Sieradski, founder of JewSchool.com and OrthodoxAnarchist.com; Rabbi Melissa Weintraub of Rabbis for Human Rights and Encounter, and Miri Wexler, formerly of the Shatil Mixed Cities Project and Community Advocacy: Genesis Israel. The discussion is moderated by Rabbi Andy Bachman of Congregation Beth Elohim and Brooklyn Jews.
