Social Justice Advocacy Day:
Learning and Acting with the URJ RAC
Sunday, April 12th - 9:00am to 3:00pm
Temple Shalom of Newton
Join the Eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island URJ Community and our partners at the Religious Action Center as we learn new and effective ways to take part in Jewish social justice work. With
Isaac Nuell, Manager of Congregational Social Action at the RAC, we'll explore the advocacy opportunities and creative ways to implement our new skills in our congregations and communities.
Synagogue members are invited to join with social justice leaders from the 41 Reform synagogues in our region to learn about important global, national and local issues and how to advocate effectively both as Reform Jews and as concerned citizens. Attendees will have the opportunity to network and share ideas and resources regarding social justice initiatives.
The RAC is the social justice arm of the Reform Movement. The Eastern MA and RI Community fosters events that strengthen synagogues and connect geographically close ones.
The event is open to any congregant interested in the collective work of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and launching local initiatives. The cost of the program is $36 per person.
