Small Discussion Groups To Talk About Israel

The war in Israel continues, with hopes of hostage release and de-escalation raised and dashed over and over again. The rise in antisemitism here and across the globe continues, causing alarm for Jews everywhere. As a TE community, we continue to support Israel and the fight against antisemitism. Last month, fifty of us showed up in Israel, helped, witnessed, and grieved together. This JNF Mission forever changed everyone on the trip. Together we march, protest, raise money through donations, challah baking and other TE events, and express our views to politicians and those who may be able to influence policy. The activism and support efforts at Temple Emanuel will, and must, continue.

Soon after the war started, we began small discussion groups that allow our members to talk to one another about this heart wrenching time. Over 50 people have joined and new people come each session. One participant said he felt like it was the only safe space to discuss Israel.

Join us again Sunday, March 31, 10:00am-11:00am in Reisman Hall as we come together to process together our feelings about the heart wrenching events unfolding. If you have a group from a prior session, wonderful. Your group can continue. New groups form, people join in with others. Everyone and every viewpoint are welcome.

We hope you will join us to share your feelings and thoughts during one of the most challenging times for the Jewish people and the Jewish State.
