At a time when immigration issues are at the forefront of our minds as Jewish-Americans, let’s come together and learn what our sages have to say about it all.
We’ll begin with one pre-session offering by Rabbi David Baum, Congregation Shaarei Kodesh:
The Story of the Stranger In Judaism and Jewish History
The Torah mentions the stranger 36 times, reminding the Jewish people again and again: “You were strangers in the land of Egypt.” What does this commandment mean, and why does it appear so often? Rabbi David Baum explores how the Jewish experience of being outsiders shaped one of Judaism’s central moral ideas.
Our Key Note Speaker, Dr. Renata Bozzetto, Director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition
Who Belongs? Immigration, Community, and the Struggle for Justice in Florida
Renata from the Florida Immigrant Coalition will share insights from her work organizing and advocating across Florida, exploring how immigration policy affects everyday lives and how communities are building coalitions to pursue justice, dignity, and belonging.
The evening will include a break with a tapas meal
Join us for an evening of learning and connection — so we can support our community.
