SUMMARY:Hallel Together: A Moment For Gratitude
DESCRIPTION:SVIVAH is gathering this Thursday\, October 30th @ 7:30-8:15pm ET to mark and celebrate the return of the living hostages and to pray for the return of the remaining hostages. Even though things still feel complicated\, we think it is important to take time and express gratitude for some of the miraculousness of this moment. \nThe gathering will be structured around Hallel — a prayer of praise and thanksgiving\, literally meaning “praise” in Hebrew. Please join us for this gathering of torah and song and thanksgiving. After coming together so many times over these past two years in prayer and pain\, we want to take a moment for gratitude together as a community. \nAs always\, SVIVAH welcomes women 12+ and learners of all backgrounds. Questions? Reach out to us at connect@svivah.org

SUMMARY:The Golden Age of American Jewry Is Not Over: Defending Democracy in Turbulent Times
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Rabbi David Saperstein\nDirector Emeritus\, Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism \nAmerican Jews have experienced unprecedented freedom and opportunity in this nation. Yet\, today\, we witness threats to the very democratic institutions that made this golden age possible\, from intensifying political polarization and rising hate crimes\, disproportionately affecting Jews\, to the erosion of the rule of law and minority rights. Some say that Golden Age is over; some are committed to preserving it. Defending democracy is not merely a matter of self-interest but about fulfilling our deepest obligations to the principles ensuring that all minority communities can thrive in a pluralistic society\, the principles that transformed America into a beacon of hope for all in our own land and for the oppressed worldwide. What should be our response to these challenges at this crossroads for our nation and our community? \nRegister to receive the Zoom link to join us online.
