SUMMARY:One Congregation Many Voices - Interactive Program\, Panel\, and Havdalah
DESCRIPTION:Members Register Here \nGuest Register Here \nCalling congregants of all ages and generations! Please join us for an intergenerational panel of 20-somethings – 70-somethings who will bring this year’s theme of One Congregation\, Many Voices: Arguments for the Sake of Heaven to life by fostering conversations around hot-button issues where there tend to be significant differences across generations within our own community. Babysitting is available\, so register today! \nIn his book Tablets Shattered\, Joshua Leifer\, a Millennial journalist and graduate student\, asks the following questions: Is it possible to live a life defined by Judaism and\, at the same time\, guided by progressive values? What does it take to sustain a community in an era of disintegration and flux? He challenges us to reach out of our comfort zones\, be engaged with people of different generations and different understandings\, and consider what it means today in our highly individualized society to create a Jewish community. \nWe’ll wrestle together with wide-ranging speculative questions such as: \n\nHow do different age cohorts relate to issues like climate change\, issues of gender and identity\, and engagement with Judaism?\nGiven the differences in generational views\, what might our Jewish practices look like\, ideally (or aspirationally)\, down the road? How will we organize our community now and into the future?\nHow can people of different generations not only coexist in the same community but thrive in our diversity?\nWhat would it mean to truly “co-generate\,” meaning to tackle challenges within our Jewish community by collaborating across generations?\n\nIf you want more information on what OCMV is\, click here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Equitable Zoning: What is it and why Should People of Faith Care?
DESCRIPTION:Members Register Here \nGuests Register Here \nA conversation led by Sue Loellbach\, Director of Advocacy at Joining Forces for Affordable Housing\n \nEvanston has been in conversation about a new comprehensive plan (Envision Evanston 2025) including a revision of our zoning codes to reflect our community values. Equitable zoning is a planning approach that aims to ensure all people\, regardless of race\, income\, or other factors\, have equal access to quality housing and community amenities by addressing historical inequities in zoning laws\, often focusing on creating a balance between residential and commercial development\, providing access to public transportation\, and preventing displacement of low-income communities through zoning regulations that promote diverse housing options and community engagement. \nThe Interfaith Clergy Leadership of Evanston has urged the Evanston City Council to adopt the proposed zoning changes. \nTo learn more about Evanston’s process\, how other U.S. communities have implemented changes\, and engage in conversation about zoning and social justice\, join us for a presentation by Sue Loellbach\, Director of Advocacy at Joining Forces for Affordable Housing. (Joining Forces is the advocacy arm of Connections for the Homeless. They recently completed a 2-year study and submitted this Equitable Zoning Project Report to the City.
