The United States simply cannot achieve the values of “justice for all” until we address ongoing racism on the local and national levels. And we can begin by asking ourselves what actions can we take to make this world one of justice, wholeness, and compassion.

CONVERSATIONS... ON CURRENT EVENTS: RACISM
Wednesday, August 26 at 7:30 pm
At our last meeting on July 1, we began an important discussion on Racism.  We would like to continue the discussion and have invited three guest who are African American leaders in Philadelphia.  They are:

  1. Marcus Allen, CEO of Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Philadelphia.
  2. Rev. Jonathan Ford, Pastor of Taylor Tabernacle Church in West Philadelphia.
  3. Rabbi Earl Bowen, Associate Rabbi of Temple Beth El Synagogue in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia.
 
Our 3 guests will discuss the question, ‘what does the African-American community need today from the Jewish community?’  Our guests will make remarks followed by our usual constructive and respectful dialogue.  Some of you may recall meeting Rabbi Bowen or Rev. Ford who have previously participated in Conversations at MLRT.
