Join members of JRC’s Israel-Palestine Committee to attend this program at Beth Emet (1224 Dempster Street, Evanston) on Wednesday, November 18 at 7:30 pm. An Israeli Reform Rabbi who has called Israel home for most of his life, Rabbi Ascherman founded Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice) in 2017, an organization grounded in the belief that honoring God’s image in every human being requires concrete action to protect human rights. For over thirty years, including his tenure leading Rabbis for Human Rights, he has confronted injustice in Israel through teaching, advocacy, and direct support for Palestinian farmers facing state-sanctioned and settler violence. JRC Members who attended our spring program on A Month of Protective Presence with Sam Fleischacker may remember that his trip to the west bank was organized and supported by Rabbi Ascherman.  Register here through Beth Emet.

We will have a program debrief for JRC members the next night on Thursday, November 19th facilitated by JRC’s Israel-Palestine Committee. Register here to receive the Zoom link.
