Create a Jewish Life Your Way

In the United States there has been renewed attention to the problems of rising antisemitism and the threat of Christian nationalism to democratic principles. This lecture will investigate those wings of the Christian nationalist movement that have antisemitic elements to them and show how these are embedded within a combination of religious, racial, and ethnonationalist assumptions. Understandings these relationships is crucial for developing the skills to identify and respond to the intersection of antisemitism, racism, and Christian nationalism today.

In collaboration with Repair the World, the J invites you into the sukkah to explore what the ancient practice of Sukkot and Jewish tradition teaches us about housing insecurity and our responsibility to our neighbors.

For one week each year, Sukkot asks us to do something radical: to leave the comfort of our homes and dwell in a temporary shelter. What might this ancient practice teach us about housing insecurity, hospitality, and our responsibility to care for our neighbors? Join us under the sukkah at the J for a lively text study exploring the history and theology of Jewish wandering, welcome, and communal responsibility towards those experiencing housing insecurity — from Abraham’s renowned hospitality, to rabbinic visions of supporting those in need, to the Jewish-led tenant rights movement in New York City, and our own laws defining homelessness in Houston. We’ll put our learning into action by assembling hygiene and supply kits for youth in Houston experiencing housing insecurity. This event is hosted by Repair the World, the Jewish service movement connecting young adults to meaningful service and Jewish learning while building community and working toward a more just world (tikkun olam). For young adults and young professionals, ages 18-39.
