SUMMARY:Poetry Reading at Booked
DESCRIPTION:Beth Emet gathers at local bookstore Booked for an evening of poetry from two collections. Dina Elenbogen’s collection\, Shore\, according to poet Faisal Moyhuddin\, “bears witness both to the suffering and loss in our world\, but also to the healing power of family\, faith\, community\, nature\, and\, most profoundly\, words.” Both humorous and poignant\, the poems in Rabbi Pamela Wax’s Every Single Beast of My Heart weave themes of aging\, grief\, mortality\, and morality into a meditation on impermanence and meaning-making. Both poets will read from their work. \nBooks will be available for purchase at the event.

SUMMARY:Clandestine Jewish Emigration from Eastern Europe\, 1870s-1914

Professor Anastasiia Strakhova from University of Illinois brings her scholarly expertise to this fascinating and deeply resonant chapter of Jewish history\, exploring who these migrants were\, what drove them to leave\, and how they navigated a world that was often hostile to their passage.

SUMMARY:Rabbi Arik Ascherman: A Champion of Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Human rights and the vision of a peaceful Israel\, one that honors the dignity of every person\, are the focus of this event with Rabbi Arik Ascherman. An Israeli Reform Rabbi who has called Israel home for most of his life\, Rabbi Ascherman founded Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice) in 2017\, an organization grounded in the belief that honoring God’s image in every human being requires concrete action to protect human rights. For over thirty years\, including his tenure leading Rabbis for Human Rights\, he has confronted injustice in Israel through teaching\, advocacy\, and direct support for Palestinian farmers facing state-sanctioned and settler violence. His voice has carried into the courts\, the Knesset\, the public square\, and the international press. \nThis Israel Committee event at Beth Emet will feature a conversation between Rabbi Brian Immerman and Rabbi Ascherman. \nMember registration \nGuest registration
