Not in Our Name: Disentangling Judaism from the Violence of Occupation with Rabbi Cat Zavis
Join us for a community gathering with Rabbi Cat Zavis, who will discuss the misuse of Judaism to justify the brutal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Drawing on deep Jewish ethical traditions of justice and compassion, Rabbi Zavis will show how the occupation fundamentally contradicts core Jewish values.
We will explore the rich history of Jewish opposition to occupation and highlight contemporary movements working to honor Judaism’s ethical mandate, “Never Again” for anyone.

A recording will be available to SAND members and pre-registered participants only
Some of the questions we will ask:
The Jewish teaching that “every life is a universe” emphasizes the sanctity of human life. How do we reconcile this principle with the current genocide in Gaza?
How do we understand the intergenerational trauma behind the oppression of the Palestinian people? How can people who suffered genocide now commit genocide themselves?
Tikkun Olam calls us to repair and mend the world. What does it mean to repair and mend in the face of such destruction?
Join us for this rich conversation. REGISTER
