"A Mission to Israel and Palestine"
Rabbi Deb Kolodny, in conversation with Rabbi Weiner
Tuesday, June 4th, 7-8:30pm, in the JCA sanctuary and by Zoom
JCA-member Rabbi Deb Kolodny (they/them) recently returned from a clergy peace mission to Israel and Palestine, under the auspices of the Jewish human rights organization T'ruah. The group met with Israeli and Palestinian human rights and peace activists, elected leaders and social scientists, representatives of the IDF, Israeli hostage families and Palestinian West Bank residents, and also saw some of the scenes of devastation from October 7th.
They will process this experience in conversion with Rabbi Weiner, hoping to go beyond polarizing memes and inflamed political rhetoric, to witness the realities on the ground, enter the portal of grief, and commit to a day after the war when true healing and sustainable peaceful coexistence are possible.
A justice activist for many decades, Rabbi Kolodny will also offer some reflection on their perception of the current state of discourse around Israel/Palestine on the progressive left.
Please join us for this important conversation.
