SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Dropkin Dertseytl Nokh Vayter Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Intermediate Yiddish Virtual

SUMMARY:Boston Worker's Circle Brandeis Info Event
DESCRIPTION:We are Boston Worker’s Circle–a secular\, progressive Jewish organization founded in 1905 as a mutual aid society for Eastern European Jewish immigrants. Today\, we have a diverse array of offerings: from Yiddish classes and a Yiddish chorus\, to working groups focused on immigrant justice\, racial and economic justice\, Israel/Palestine\, and much more. \nIn the last year\, our membership has grown by over 20%\, bringing us to close to 1\,000 members\, some of whom are Brandeis students and faculty. A group of Brandeis undergrads asked for the membership committee to put on this event to give the opportunity for more people in the Brandeis community to learn about BWC. \nWe will have some structured schmoozing over dinner and then some of our committee chairs will share about what work their committee is doing and how YOU can join! \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Dropkin Dertseytl Nokh Vayter Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes. Students who want to listen rather than read are welcome to join the class. We will discuss Dropkin’s work in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nMaterials: This class will read and discuss stories that appear in Celia Dropkin’s 1959 edition of In Heysn Vint\, which can be found online for free here.

SUMMARY:Kumzits: How To Talk To Your Kids In Times of Crisis? Practice Listening
DESCRIPTION:So many of us have lots of hard feelings that have come up now that the US election results are in and not what we wanted as a progressive Jewish community. We may find ourselves at a loss for words on how to process this moment for ourselves as adults\, let alone how to talk to our children about it. Come learn from Shana Gozansky\, Daled parent and hand in hand parent instructor\, and Dan Gelbtuch\, Shule parent and Co-Founder and Lead Organizer with Kirva. Given the wide range of ages we have in Shule\, this is a moment to trust our children to tell us what they need\, including for us to stay in the present moment and play with them. Together we will process what’s going on for us post election and practice listening with each other using hand in hand parenting techniques.

SUMMARY:Yiddish Language Class: Advanced Dropkin Dertseytl Nokh Vayter Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Celia Dropkin (1887-1956) is a dynamic writer whose work is exciting\, intense and confronting. Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes. Students who want to listen rather than read are welcome to join the class. We will discuss Dropkin’s work in Yiddish\, in a supportive environment that encourages each person to speak Yiddish freely and fearlessly to the best of their ability. \nInstructor: Hinde Ena Burstin \nMaterials: This class will read and discuss stories that appear in Celia Dropkin’s 1959 edition of In Heysn Vint\, which can be found online for free here.

Best known for her fierce and intimate poetry\, Dropkin brings the same bold\, unflinching voice to her short stories. Dropkin’s stories take the reader deep under the skins of sharply drawn characters\, casting a critical gaze on the settings and social circumstances that they encounter. In this course\, we will read a selection of Dropkin’s short stories in the original Yiddish\, and will discuss the themes\, characters\, contexts and stylistics of these works. The course will consist entirely of new materials. No stories previously covered in  2023 or 2024 will be studied this semester. \nדי נאָוואַטאָרישע שרײַבערין ציליע דראָפּקין (1887-1956) האָט אַרײַנגעפֿירט פֿרישע טעמעס און סטיליסטיק אין דער ייִדישער ליטעראַטור. די דרײַסטע\, אינטימע שטימע פֿאַר וועלכער איר פּאָעזיע איז אַזוי באַקאַנט\, געפֿינט זיך אויך אין דראָפּקינס דינאַמישע דערציילונגען. דערצו באַגעגנט מען אין דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען איר שאַרפֿן בליק אויף דעם אַרום\, ווי אויך איר פֿעיִקייט קריטיש און קרעפֿטיק צו באַהאַנדלען וויכטיקע סאָציאַלע ענינים. \nמיר וועלן צוזאַמען לייענען אויף אַ קול אַן אָפּקלײַב פֿון דראָפּקינס דערציילונגען\, און וועלן אַרומשמועסן די טעמעס\, פּערסאָנאַזשן\, סיטואַציעס\, סטיליסטיק און קאָנטעקסטן פֿון די דערציילונגען. \nLevel: The class is suited to advanced readers and speakers of Yiddish\, including students in previous BWC advanced classes.

Do you know how to exchange pleasantries in Yiddish but not how to talk about what happened yesterday? Do you know the alef-beys\, but not have enough vocabulary to tell a story? Would you like to study Yiddish every week with an enthusiastic teacher who showers you with positive feedback no matter how many mistakes you make? This advanced beginner Yiddish class might just be right for you. \nLevel: For students who have taken a BWC Beginner course. Also open to those who already know the Yiddish alef-beys\, some basic grammar & vocabulary\, and who feel the class description fits their level\, including those who have worked through Duolingo and feel ready to dive into more conversation and culture. \nInstructor: Sasha Berenstein \nMaterials: In eynem: The New Yiddish Textbook\, Vol I. Starting on Chapter 7. Students can purchase this textbook through The Yiddish Book Center (print or digital/PDF is fine)\, and have it accessible for use during class sessions.

SUMMARY:AFREJ: Fight Voter Suppression in Ohio!
DESCRIPTION:Join AFREJ and Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action (JALSA) organizer\, Rachel Scarpino\, to write postcards to fight voter suppression in Ohio. In 2023\, Ohio passed several outrageous laws which will make voting more difficult this year: e.g.\, creating stricter voter ID policies\, shortening early voting deadlines\, and imposing criminal penalties on anyone who tries to drop off an absentee ballot that does not belong to them.  \nWe’ll be writing to registered voters in key districts who have not voted in the last few elections\, a list also used during a previous JALSA campaign regarding reproductive health legislation in Ohio. JALSA will supply the postcards\, names/addresses of Ohioan voters\, and a sample message\, but please bring your own postage for 24 cards. Rachel will also tell us about JALSA’s other campaigns\, including canvassing for One Fair Wage in MA. \nThis event will take place at BWC’s Office at 6 Webster Street in Brookline from 7:00 – 9:00pm. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Adult Ed Course: The Cop in the Head of the Jewish Left: Breaking Out of 19th Century Norms to Organize Our People
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n4 Sessions | September 17\, 24\, October 1\, 8 |Tuesdays 7:00-8:30 pm ET | Virtual\nCourse Instructor: April Rosenblum\, author of The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere and To The New Jewish Left \nCourse Description: The Jewish Left is contained by invisible walls that prevent us from fully claiming our power and steering our people in a new direction. We aren’t just up against obvious things\, like the entanglement of many Jews in privilege and white supremacy\, or well-funded Right-wing strategies. We are held in place by limitations dreamed up for us more than a century ago by the European Left. \nTo rise to all the challenges we face – including the immediate challenge of seeking Palestinian freedom and the imminent challenges to democracy and the earth’s climate – it is essential that we break out of these limits so that we can access our full power and help our people play our strongest\, most liberatory role. Over four sessions\, we’ll use April’s new MA research\, the wisdom of the organizing tradition\, analysis of Christian dominance\, and participants’ own reflections to make visible what has been holding us back. \nThis course is for Jewish Leftists who want to strengthen their leadership and critical thinking skills and come out with a bolder sense of Jews’ place in movements and in the world. \nAll sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants. \nPre-Course Reading: Participants are asked to read or listen to “To the New Jewish Left” (2021) \nCourse Sessions: \n\nSession #1 on 9/17: Setting the scene in the late 19th century\, and grounding ourselves in organizing wisdom\nSession #2 on 9/24: Dueling visions for Jews in the first half of the 20th century\, and how the expectations of the European Left created the mold for today\nSession #3 on 10/1: The creation of an Invisible Jewish Left in the 1960s\, and why we don’t question existing theory\nSession #4 on 10/8: Building a 21st-century Jewish Left and moving beyond cultures of domination\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Adult Ed Course: The Cop in the Head of the Jewish Left: Breaking Out of 19th Century Norms to Organize Our People
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n4 Sessions | September 17\, 24\, October 1\, 8 |Tuesdays 7:00-8:30 pm ET | Virtual\nCourse Instructor: April Rosenblum\, author of The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere and To The New Jewish Left \nCourse Description: The Jewish Left is contained by invisible walls that prevent us from fully claiming our power and steering our people in a new direction. We aren’t just up against obvious things\, like the entanglement of many Jews in privilege and white supremacy\, or well-funded Right-wing strategies. We are held in place by limitations dreamed up for us more than a century ago by the European Left. \nTo rise to all the challenges we face – including the immediate challenge of seeking Palestinian freedom and the imminent challenges to democracy and the earth’s climate – it is essential that we break out of these limits so that we can access our full power and help our people play our strongest\, most liberatory role. Over four sessions\, we’ll use April’s new MA research\, the wisdom of the organizing tradition\, analysis of Christian dominance\, and participants’ own reflections to make visible what has been holding us back. \nThis course is for Jewish Leftists who want to strengthen their leadership and critical thinking skills and come out with a bolder sense of Jews’ place in movements and in the world. \nAll sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants. \nPre-Course Reading: Participants are asked to read or listen to “To the New Jewish Left” (2021) \nCourse Sessions: \n\nSession #1 on 9/17: Setting the scene in the late 19th century\, and grounding ourselves in organizing wisdom\nSession #2 on 9/24: Dueling visions for Jews in the first half of the 20th century\, and how the expectations of the European Left created the mold for today\nSession #3 on 10/1: The creation of an Invisible Jewish Left in the 1960s\, and why we don’t question existing theory\nSession #4 on 10/8: Building a 21st-century Jewish Left and moving beyond cultures of domination\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Electoral Politics and Left Activism
DESCRIPTION:Many people feel that the stakes of the 2024 election are higher than perhaps they have ever been before. Much of that concern revolves around Project 2025 and recent Supreme Court decisions that have taken away reproductive rights\, challenged climate policy\, and have seemed to affirm Trump’s assertions that a “deep state” is undermining democracy and has to be dismantled. Others feel that electoral politics are not terribly relevant to the ongoing work of social justice grassroots organizing. Still others are withholding their votes or voting for third parties because of the ongoing war on Gaza. Join us for a free-ranging discussion on the relation between electoral politics\, left activism\, and grassroots organizing. \nRegister for this discussion here.

SUMMARY:Boston Says: Not Another Bomb
DESCRIPTION:We know that in order to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza\, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. That’s why we are calling for an immediate embargo on US arms to Israel. Join us in calling on Biden and Harris to do the right thing and end this Administration’s disastrous policy of arming Israel’s war and occupation against Palestinians. \nRSVP to our action on Sun 8/18 at 4PM in Boston  \nThe call for a ceasefire and arms embargo is a moral and human imperative\, as well as a necessity as dictated by preexisting American and international law. We are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza\, with a reported >40\,000 Palestinians killed\, including\, a truly staggering amount of children\, and public health and infrastructure destruction that will lead to the indirect death of hundreds of thousands Palestinians.  \nThe time is now to act! Register to join our action on Sun 8/18 at 4PM to support the movement for arms embargo. For Gaza\, for the lives that are stake\, and for freedom for all.

SUMMARY:Wrestling with Covenant: Shavuot Learning Dedicated to Ceasefire
DESCRIPTION:Shavuot commemorates the revelation on Mt. Sinai and the covenant that binds the Jewish people to one another\, the divine\, and our sacred and expansive relationship to Torah. Many communities celebrate Shavuot by spending the night learning. As we move into the eighth month since October 7th\, we invite Boston Jews committed to ceasefire to come together and wrestle with Torah and other texts on the themes of covenant and liberation.  \nThis program will be held at Boston Workers Circle (6 Webster St Brookline)\, in proximity to the Brookline Community tikkun hosted at KI (Kehillath Israel) on Harvard Street. We encourage people to participate in both! \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Cynthia at Nehar Shalom (communications@neharshalom.org) who will pass these on to the organizing team.Register Here!

SUMMARY:Anyuka: A Bisl Film Screening & Art Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this member to member learning session\, BWC member\, award-winning filmmaker\, animator and educator; Maya Erdelyi will explore how art can help us make sense of the family stories that were passed down to us. Maya will share her 20 minute film\, Anyuka (Hungarian for mother). Anyuka interweaves super 8 family films\, archival material and experimental animation to explore the indomitable life of her grandmother\, a WWII refugee and Holocaust survivor. The film will be followed by a question and answer with Maya and then an opportunity to create a visual response to a family story of your own.  \nWhat is in your family history? And what are the stories that you heard again and again? What do you want to pass down to the next generation?  \nAttendees are invited to bring an artifact from their own ancestors as inspiration for the workshop component but this is not required.  \nSuggested donations of $10-$15 are invited at the door. \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:CfP Joint Memorial Watch Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Commemorating the Nakba/Israeli War Dead \nJoin Boston Workers Circle to watch the 19th annual Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony\, broadcast live from Israel/Palestine. As described by Combatants for Peace\, “the joint memorial event is a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to grieve together and stand united in demanding an end to the bloodshed. In mourning together\, we seek not to equate experiences\, but rather transform despair into hope and build compassion around our shared humanity. We remind ourselves and the world that occupation\, oppression\, and conflict are not inevitable.”  \n \nWe will watch this moving ceremony together on a large screen\, followed by time to share our thoughts and feelings\, especially in light of the ongoing tragedy in Gaza. The 1:15pm gathering time makes it perfect for a post Mother’s Day Brunch or pre-Mother’s Day Dinner family activity. This event is appropriate for family members of all ages. Light refreshments provided.  \n \nPlease register here to watch the Memorial Day Ceremony together on May 12\, 1:15-3pm at Boston Workers Circle\, 6 Webster Street\, Brookline. On Wednesday\, May 15\, 1pm there will also be a live streamed Nakba Remembrance.  \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Mothers' Day Walk for Peace
DESCRIPTION:We are gathering a BWC team to walk in the 28th annual Mothers’ Day Walk for Peace\, sponsored by the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute in Dorchester.  The Walk is on Sunday\, May 12 (Mothers Day)\, 8:00 – 10:00 am and will be a 4.3 mile loop\, beginning and ending at Town Field Park in Dorchester.  This is a family event\, and can be a meaningful way to help celebrate Mothers’ Day.  \nLast year\, BWC was represented by about 25 walkers\, joining several thousand people from faith organizations\, healthcare organizations\, and community groups in this spirited collective endeavor. We aim to match last year’s successful fundraising\, in which we exceeded our initial $1500 goal to reach $2200 in donations.   \nThe Peace Institute was founded by Dorchester resident Chaplain Clementina Chéry to honor her teenage son Louis D. Brown\, who was murdered in the crossfire of street violence.  The Walk is the major fundraiser for the Institute\, whose mission is to serve as a center of healing\, teaching\, and learning for families and communities impacted by murder\, trauma\, grief\, and loss. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Kumzits: Adult Shule Book club
DESCRIPTION:“The Golem of Brooklyn” Adam Mansbach \nShule parents meet to talk about the Circle Book Group book of the month at a satellite in-person meet-up at Shule. See Shule e-mail for details. \nBook Description:In Ashkenazi Jewish folklore\, a golem is a humanoid being created out of mud or clay and animated through secret prayers. Its sole purpose is to defend the Jewish people against the immediate threat of violence. It is always a rabbi who makes a golem\, and always in a time of crisis. \nBut Len Bronstein is no rabbi—he’s a Brooklyn art teacher who steals a large quantity of clay from his school\, gets extremely stoned\, and manages to bring his creation to life despite knowing little about Judaism and even less about golems. Unable to communicate with his nine-foot-six\, four hundred-pound\, Yiddish-speaking guest\, Len enlists a bodega clerk and ex-Hasid named Miri Apfelbaum to translate. \nEventually\, The Golem learns English by binge-watching Curb Your Enthusiasm after ingesting a massive amount of LSD and reveals that he is a creature with an ancestral memory; he recalls every previous iteration of himself\, making The Golem a repository of Jewish history and trauma. He demands to know what crisis has prompted his re-creation and whom must he destroy. When Miri shows him a video of white nationalists marching and chanting “Jews will not replace us\,” the answer becomes clear. \nThe Golem of Brooklyn is an epic romp through Jewish history and the American present that wrestles with the deepest questions of our humanity—the conflicts between faith and skepticism\, tribalism and interdependence\, and vengeance and healing.

SUMMARY:Shabes: Food and Cultural Identity in Israel/Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hybrid Shabes\, with a gathering and potluck meal at the BWC center in Brookline and a Zoom gathering online. \nThe UN reports a world-wide food crisis\, and as Jews we are focused especially on starvation being inflicted on the people of Gaza and crops being destroyed on the West Bank. So how and why can we focus on good food right now? \nIn the fall of 2023\, Jonathan and Maia Brumberg-Kraus spent a month in the Palestinian Christian neighborhood of Wadi Nisnas in Haifa while he researched the promise and limitations when Palestinian citizens of Israel share their food with Israeli Jews and tourists. Jonathan and Maia explored the food worlds of Nazareth\, other Muslim Arab majority towns in Israel’s Galilee region\, Tel Aviv\, and East Jerusalem. They spoke with Israelis and Palestinians about their food experiences with one another. Jonathan will share what he and Maia learned about food as identity\, food as politics\, and why for Palestinians promoting and serving their cuisine at home and in the diaspora are acts of political resistance and cultural resilience. \nRegister here. \nDigital Program

SUMMARY:Wild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro
DESCRIPTION:The Scottsboro Trials stand as one of the most renowned miscarriages of justice in the history of American jurisprudence. Beginning in 1931 with a false accusation of rape against nine Black teenagers\, the case went went on to invigorate a nascent Civil Rights movement\, earn the international support of Communist Party\, and establish itself as a watchword among various strands of the American Left. It inspired reaction from the contemporary world of arts and letters as well\, most famously by poets Langston Hughes and Richard Wright and novelist Harper Lee\, who adapted its events in To Kill A Mockingbird.  \nThe international\, politically-oriented Yiddish intelligentsia of the Thirties was no less galvanized\, producing a body of creative response that passionately took up the themes of the trial\, juxtaposing its American injustices with a diversity of images\, tropes and language imbued with their own distinct histories of oppression.  \nWild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro brings this world alive as a concert-lecture featuring Professor Amelia Glaser\, author of Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine (Harvard University Press)\, composer/vocalists Heather Klein and Anthony Russell\, and composer/pianist Uri Schreter\, performing their new settings of Yiddish and English poetry written in response to the pervasive climate of race prejudice that gave birth to the Scottsboro trials—and other injustices to come. \nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:IPC Conversation on the ICJ Ruling & Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:Tentative Agenda: \n\nReports from subcommittees\, ad-hoc groups\, etc. \nReport about the International Court of Justice decision and what it means\nSmall-group discussions on the use of the word “genocide” \nBrainstorm and feedback on the potential demands that we would put into a new statement about Gaza \n\nAs you can see\, we intend to have some deep and important discussions at this meeting\, so we hope you will be able to attend.  In preparation\, we recommend the following readings/viewings\, etc.  \n\nBrant Rosen Op-Ed\, Sept. 2023\, “On Yom Kippur\, Solidarity With Palestinians Is a Sacred Act.\n” Rosen makes an argument for using language without fear. While he doesn’t explicitly talk about genocide\, he talks about other terms\, such as apartheid and settler colonialism. \n“The ICJs Ruling Was the First Crack in Israel’s Armor of Impunity.” \nBarghouti webinar hosted at Harvard: “Why the BDS movement has never been more important – a discussion with Omar Barghouti.” Barghouti has studied the South Africa anti-apartheid movement and this webinar includes lots of meaty ideas about both this moment and the long-term future; if you don’t have time for the whole thing\, watch the first 30 minutes.

SUMMARY:IPC Meeting: Beyond The Red Line: Grappling with Jewish Identity & Justice for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Red Line: Grappling with Jewish Identity and Justice for Palestine \nJewish identity in the United States has increasingly become conflated with unwavering support of\, allegiance to\, and belief in the State of Israel. How then\, when we have a strong critique of Israel’s actions (especially in the past few months) or perhaps even of its foundation as a religious or ethnonational state\, can we connect meaningfully with our Jewish heritage and find a home in the larger Jewish community? And what can we do when we are pressured to stay within a red line* that may violate our values\, or risk expulsion from the larger community?  \nCome learn about three progressive Jewish communities who have dealt with this challenge\, and whose Jewish identity and understanding of justice for Palestine are neither defined nor constrained by the Jewish establishment’s positions on Israel. \nTuesday\, December 12 – 7:00 – 8:30 PM \nZoom registration link: https://bit.ly/IPCRedlining  \nRabbi Brant Rosen – Tzedek Chicago\, IL \nTalie Lewis – Co-chair of Kavod Israel/Palestine Task Force\, Boston MA \nRabbi Rebecca Zimmerman-Hornstein – Executive Director\, Boston Workers Circle\, Boston\, MA \n*The red line\, or “to cross the red line\,” is a phrase used worldwide to mean a figurative point of no return or line in the sand.
