American Judaism in the 21st Century: What Happens After We Have Thanked God for Bringing Us To This Moment
Presenter(s): Barbara Carr
Time: Sunday 11:00 A.M. - 12:15 P.M.
Our responsibility to sustain Judaism is often challenged by our complete immersion in the modern American world. Let’s start listening to each other while we address the big questions about faith, peoplehood and what really happens when we are all “Jews by Choice”.
Through contemporary and traditional texts and the shared knowledge we bring to the discussion, we will see if there are new paths to walk together that will continue the evolution of Judaism that Reconstructionists have helped define for three generations.
