Scholar-in-Residence Program
Topic: "State" of the Jews: North America and Israel
Shalom Orzach will speak about the challenges of our disparate communities in North America and Israel. The move from powerlessness to a people with power has unprecedented opportunities as well as significant challenges. Can we envision joint projects that manifest our mission and desire to "repair the world" and be that Light to the Nations?
We thank our Impact Board Sponsors, Marty & Linda Radnor & Barry Vlessing, for making this program possible at no cost. We also thank our anonymous donor
for ongoing support of our Adult Education Programming.
