Social Justice Wednesday-with Rabbi David Segal
Advertisement
The presenter is Rabbi David Segal, a speaker from the BJC Center for Faith, Justice and Reconciliation. He will be zooming into Smoot Hall, where we will be able to see and talk with him, as if he's there.
He will be speaking about how to talk to neighbors and legislators about the dangers of "Christian" Nationalism. With the elections this fall followed by a new Texas Legislative Session beginning in Jan. 2027, given all the "Christian" Nationalist type laws that have already been passed, being able to stand up to electeds and speak about why our faith must not be pushed onto others by the government is more important than ever.
A little about Rabbi Segal: "In March 2014, the Jewish Forward named him among America's Most Inspiring Rabbis. He is an alumnus of the Wexner Graduate Fellowship, where he continues to gain valuable leadership experience and build relationships with Jewish professionals across denominational lines. During his time in Aspen, he was on the board of the Manaus Fund, the Valley Settlement Project, and the Aspen Homeless Shelter. From 2012-17 he wrote a monthly column for the Aspen Times, for which he won a 2015 and 2016 Colorado Press Association award for Best Humorous Column Writing, and he is a freelance writer for the Houston Chronicle and other media. He also dabbles in stand-up with my comedy trio Three Rabbis Walk Into a Bar.
