Continued Round Table Discussion: What’s Worrying You Regarding Israel?

Israel Peace Alternatives and Social Justice Committee invite CBH Partners to participate in a CONTINUED Round Table discussion/listening brave-space session.

Recently about 20 CBH partners participated in a Round Table listening session where each person shared their own experience, and most expressed the desire to continue. This follow-up session is open to all CBH partners who attended and to those who have not yet joined us. Come to listen and share your thoughts/reactions/suggestions/ideas/concerns on Israel, including trauma experienced by Jews on Oct 7, Hamas terrorism, the Israeli government’s response, or other related issues which call to your Jewish values.

Our goal is for each of us to listen to diverse views and welcome them as sincere and heartfelt, and to give CBH partners a forum for expression to build community based on respect for each person’s concerns. We expect our discussion will be along a continuum of wide polarities with many nuanced opinions. We seek to provide a safe space to discuss and acknowledge these feelings and to locate shared Jewish values.

All participants must follow the Round Table Guidelines and Agreements.

CBH partners are those who have made an annual dues pledge for the current fiscal year.  Non-partners are welcome at many services and programs, but this program is focused on discussion among those who have a current partnership commitment to our synagogue.  If you are not a current partner, please do not register.  Please contact our executive director if you need to check your status or would like to become a partner:  director@bethaverim.org.

Please RSVP below by 2pm Friday, May 29th and please consider making a donation to cover costs to sustain this effort.
