Rabbi Brant Rosen will examine this important Jewish communal shift, including the increasing involvement of antizionist Jews in the Palestine solidarity movement, the growth of organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace and #IfNotNow and the beginning of American Jews who are creating Jewish ritual spaces that affirm a Judaism beyond Zionism.
This talk will take place at 4 p.m. on April 23 in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art auditorium. It is free to attend. Everyone is welcome. Please note that it will start at an earlier time than most University Forum Lectures.
