Sharing Privilege: Making Space for Boaz and Ruth
Shabbat, June 26
Within our Shul community there exist economic, social, identity and other disparities which in turn affect social and religious access in myriad ways, including in many well-hidden ways. Our community is invited to share and to listen to the stories of community members who are often overlooked, to the end of making our community a more inclusive and participatory space. Just as Boaz opened his field for Ruth to glean, we will together identify ways to enlarge our space for the many Ruths among us.
Panelists include Rabbanit Alissa Thomas-Newborn, BCC and BDJ Members Cindy Kaplan Abrookin, and Rhoda Weisman. If you would like to relate a personal story about an experience when you felt like a "Ruth," please click here no later than Wednesday, June 23, 2021. Anonymous submissions are welcome, and will be read by a panelist.
