Critical Conversation: Immigration
Tuesday, May 20
5:30 to 7 PM on Zoom
“Judaism is about conversation. It is the only religion known to me in which human beings talk to, argue and remonstrate with God.” -Rabbi Jonathan Sacks
Micah is a community of members with diverse backgrounds, ideologies, and affiliations. We do not agree on every idea or situation in our world or, for that matter, on how to solve our problems.
We want to create a safe space for Micah congregants to express their feelings and convictions with others about the state of the world. We want to foster healthy relationships in our spiritual community by teaching our membership to be adept at when and how to engage in difficult discussions.
The recent actions of ICE and THP have generated varying emotions and reactions in our community. We recognize that the Micah membership mirrors these reactions and has responded in a variety of ways, from full support to opposition.
Honoring that diversity, the Social Action/Justice Committee (in partnership with clergy) will host a series of critical conversations, beginning with this topic. Our goal is to create an environment where we listen to, learn from, and respect the opinions of all those in the discussion. We will, therefore, remain steadfast to our commitments to our Jewish values: justice, mercy, and humility.
