SUMMARY:Leading With Our Values\, featuring Dr. Micah Goodman — iEngage Series Launch
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Micah Goodman\, author of Catch 67 and a leading voice in Judaism\, Zionism\, the Bible\, and the challenges and opportunities facing Israel and contemporary world Jewry\, launched the iEngage program with this community conversation. iEngage: Jewish Values and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict\, a program of the Sholom Hartman Institute\, explores one of the most divisive issues affecting the Jewish people today. \nBy studying Jewish narratives about Israel and the unpacking of the complex meanings of peace in the Jewish tradition\, participants are invited to explore the ideas and values that animate different attitudes toward the conflict and how these values shape their own political understandings. Though a common political platform may not be attainable\, this course strives to achieve shared respect for our differences. \nProgram sponsored by the Minneapolis Jewish Federation and JCRC. Conversation moderated by Rabbi Debra Rappaport. \nRegistration is required. Please RSVP here.\nWith partnering synagogues + organizations:\nAdath Jeshurun Congregation\nBeth El Synagogue\nBet Shalom Congregation\nCongregation Darchei Noam\nConsulate General of Israel to the Midwest\nJewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas\nMayim Rabim Congregation\nMinneapolis Jewish Federation Israel Center\nShir Tikvah\nTemple Israel

SUMMARY:Bridges of Cooperation: Interfaith Action Toward Racial Equity
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 10 a.m.\, Friday\, November 20\, 2020 for a virtual lecture featuring Eboo Patel.\nCollectively\, we face a moment of divisions in our society. Whether religious\, political\, racial\, generational\, economic or in other areas\, we find our communities\, institutions\, families and society fracturing. Together\, we can improve. We can build communities where sources of difference become sources of strength — where shared humanity and communal aspirations compel dialogue\, not division. \nTo help spark that dialogue\, the College of Saint Benedict welcomes Eboo Patel. Eboo Patel\, president of Interfaith Youth Core\, founded the non-profit organization on the idea that religion should be a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier or division. For over 15 years he has worked with governments\, social sector organizations\, and college and university campuses to help make interfaith cooperation a social norm. Patel served on President Obama’s Inaugural Faith Council and is the author of four books. \nInterfaith Youth Core is committed to interfaith leadership to combat racism. In this free public lecture\, Eboo Patel will share strategies for interfaith action toward racial equity. \nRegistration is not required. A livestream for this virtual lecture will be added to the event page on the College of St. Benedict website on the day of the event.  \n\nPart of The Democracy Project\, funded by the Otto Bremer Trust and the Oren and Sharron Steinfeldt Foundation. Events offered in partnership with the College of St. Benedict and Concordia College of Moorhead\, Minnesota. \nWith additional support from the Minnesota Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations\, Jay Phillips Center for Interfaith Learning at Saint John’s University\, CentraCare\, CSB/SJU Becoming Community\, Granite Equity Partners\, Bernick’s\, Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation\, Initiative Foundation\, and #UNITECLOUD.

SUMMARY:Total Devastation: The forgotten mass destruction of Jewish homes during Kristallnacht 1938
DESCRIPTION:The November pogrom is known by Holocaust scholars as one of the most analyzed events in Nazi Germany. Descriptions of Kristallnacht usually emphasize the attacks on synagogues and Jewish shops\, sometimes schools and other Jewish institutions\, yet rarely the destructions of private homes. Based on contemporary administrative reports and letters as well as postwar survivor testimonies\, research suggests that during that night Goebbels ordered systematic and nationwide violent attacks aimed at Jewish homes. The resulting mass destruction of Jewish homes and apartments has never been studied\, neither in its scale and intensity nor its brutality and impact. For some cities\, between 75 and 90 per cent of the Jewish homes had been reported as vandalized. After the attacks\, thousands of homes were left inhabitable\, their windows broken and china\, furniture\, lamps and paintings smashed to pieces. Humiliations\, beatings\, murder and sexual violence accompanied the systematic destruction. More than burned synagogues or vandalized shops\, indeed the systematic devastation of the last refuge of the German Jews — their homes — might explain\, why so many German and Austrian Jews decided to flee or to commit suicide after Kristallnacht. \nClick here to register via Zoom\nWolf Gruner (gruner@usc.edu) holds the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies\, is Professor of History at the University of Southern California\, Los Angeles since 2008 and is the Founding Director of the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research since 2014. He is a specialist in the history of the Holocaust and in comparative genocide studies. He received his PhD in History in 1994 from the Technical University Berlin as well as his Habilitation in 2006. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University\, Yad Vashem Jerusalem\, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum\, Women’s Christian University Tokyo\, and the Center for Jewish Studies Berlin-Brandenburg\, as well as the Desmond E. Lee Visiting Professor for Global Awareness at Webster University in St. Louis. \nPresented by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, and the Upper Midwest Consortium for Holocaust and Genocide Education and Research.

SUMMARY:Commemorating the Tree of Life Tragedy with Dr. Beth Kissileff
DESCRIPTION:On October 27\, 2018\, three congregations were holding their morning Shabbat services at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood when a lone gunman entered the building and opened fire. He killed eleven people and injured six more in the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in American history. The story made international headlines for weeks following the shooting\, but Pittsburgh and the local Jewish community could not simply move on when the news cycle did. \n\n\n\n\nThe essays in this anthology\, written by local journalists\, academics\, spiritual leaders\, and other community members\, reveal a city’s attempts to come to terms with an unfathomable horror. \nJoin us via Zoom as Dr. Kissilef discusses this soon-to-be-published anthology. \nPlease contact lrappaport@bethelsynagogue.org for Zoom information for this event

SUMMARY:Living Room Learning: A Reckoning with Race
DESCRIPTION:A Reckoning with Race: The Mapping Prejudice Project \nThe Mapping Prejudice Project is mapping racial covenants in the Twin Cities. Racial covenants are clauses–a couple of lines of text–that were embedded into property deeds to bar people who were not white from buying or even occupying the parcels of land to which they were attached. \nThe project just finished the map of Hennepin County and has turned its attention to Ramsey County. \nCovenants were made illegal by the 1968 Fair Housing Act. But their legacy continues today in the Twin Cities\, which has some of the largest racial disparities in the country. The Mapping Prejudice Project is designed to reveal the “racism behind these racial disparities\,” in the words of Ibram Kendi. It illuminates how structural racism shaped the urban landscape\, blocking African Americans from critical avenues for housing stability and wealth accumulation. \nDelegard will narrate this history and describe the innovative methodologies used in this work. Together we will explore the question of next steps to address the damage wrought by these policies.\n—\nKirsten Delegard is the Director and one of the co-founders of the Mapping Prejudice Project\, which is located in the Borchert Map Library at the University of Minnesota. She is a third generation Minneapolitan and public historian. To explore the complex history of her hometown\, she established Mapping Prejudice as well as the Historyapolis Project.\n—\nLiving Room Learning is a webinar series produced by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas. All JCRC webinars are free and open to the public.
