Let’s Talk About Race
If Jewish history has taught us anything, it is that despair does not have the last word.
Over these next months, we invite you to learn, reflect, and act with us. Together, as a Central community, we will explore questions of identity, race, and violence. We will work to make New York a more just and equitable state. And, perhaps most importantly, we will listen to and share with one another.
October is a month for personal and collective reflection; a time to explore the role identity plays in the way we move through Jewish spaces and the broader world. We are honored to share that on Thursday, October 22, from 7:00-8:00 pm, Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum will be joining us for an evening of conversation with Rabbi Buchdahl. Dr. Tatum is an award-winning educational leader, best-selling author, and noted expert on the psychology of racism. Register here.
