During
the High Holiday services, Rabbi Stern sounded the call to our congregation to
start to take action on social justice issues. As a result, the Social Justice
Advisory Committee has been meeting since last October to discuss what we as a
Temple community can do to advance social justice for everyone in a
specifically Jewish way. At its last meeting, the Advisory
Committee chose to further explore possible actions related to the cause and
effect of Domestic Violence.
Please
join the Advisory Committee for an educational session on Wednesday, March 16
at 7:00 p.m. to learn more about the problem of Domestic Violence in our community
and ways in which our congregation may be able to help. We
are pleased that Sarah Perry and Linda McMaster from
The Second Step, Inc. and Elizabeth Schon Vainer and Julie Youdovin Journey to Safety will join us and facilitate a conversation about this problem.
This meeting is simply to learn more about the problem of domestic violence and related issues to help us formulate gather information necessary in order to present to TBA's Board for approval as a course of action.
