Vision for Black Lives STudy Group
70 people gathered for two hours of sharing and study of each plank of the Vision for Black Lives platform: End the War on Black People, Reparations, Invest-Divest, Economic Justice, Community Control, and Political Power.
When discussing next steps, these items were mentioned: the website and its many resources need to be examined, resources in Philadelphia for each plank gathered and multi-racial connections for Kol Tzedek developed.
In coming weeks, Minyan Ometz Lev will begin brining local activists for 4th Friday services. On Yom Kippur, Prof. Kevin Moseby will teach on White Supremacy. The idea of studying how Jews in the US have benefited from structural racism received wide interest.
Contact Rabbi Ari Lev or Kevin Moseby to share ideas and volunteer to make more such events happen.

"Kol Tzedek is a warm, welcoming, and thoughtful community in which to experience and express Jewish life. I was initially drawn by the synagogue's commitment to social justice and quickly came to feel at home in the midst of this diverse and dynamic group, which welcomed me both before and after I converted to Judaism. My wife and I feel nurtured, challenged (in all the best ways), and inspired every time we visit Kol Tzedek, a place and a community that is central to our lives."
