Join us on Friday, January 11 at 8:00 pm (following Kabbalat Shabbat services at 6:30 and potluck supper at 7:30) for a JED (Jewish Education and Dialogue) Talk presentation and discussion on Talking About Israel with Diana Ralph. A year ago, Reconstructing Judaism formed the Joint Israel Commission (JIC). One of its goals is to help Reconstructionist communities engage constructively in conversations about Israel. Diana is one of 11 lay people on the 18-member commission. She will describe the background, mandate, composition, and initial steps of the Commission, followed by participatory exercises to engage everyone in safely sharing their feelings about Israel and offer feedback to the Commission.
