DC: Jewish Reckoning with Power: A Halachic Left Learning Series

*** Register on this page (Eventbrite) if you're planning to attend in person -- ! ***

*** Information about speakers/topics forthcoming! ***

Come to our second event in Jewish Reckoning with Power: A Halachic Left Learning Series -- with future events planned in Los Angeles, Chicago, and NYC. Each event will be livestreamed/recorded in order to allow everyone to watch speakers in other cities.

About the series:

Much of our recent Torah, writing, and teaching has engaged directly with the urgent realities of Israel/Palestine. In this program, we are intentionally stepping back, toward a broader and more abstract question that underlies so many of those conversations: How does Jewish tradition understand, justify, resist, and reckon with power?

Each day of learning will feature shiurim from multiple teachers exploring different dimensions of Jewish engagement with power: textual, halachic, historical, and ethical. While the sessions will not all address the same sources or case studies, together they aim to open a shared conversation and provide conceptual tools that can deepen our Torah learning and inform contemporary Jewish moral and political thinking.

Snacks/hors d'oeurves will be served -- please RSVP so we can estimate how much to order!

*** We believe in learning Torah from all. Speaking does not imply agreement with Halachic Left's political positions. Institutional affiliations are for identification purposes only.

Shiur descriptions forthcoming!
