Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn
Anat Hoffman, Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), and Director of Women of the Wall, on:
"The Search for Cracks in the City of Stone: An Anatomy of the Struggles for
Pluralism in Modern Jerusalem"
Jerusalem is a harsh city to live in. It is a city in struggle, a struggle
between narrow-minded Judaism and pluralistic Judaism, a battle for appropriate
representation for all city inhabitants, a struggle to make it a better place
for all to live in.
Anat Hoffman's talk will touch on several issues that pertain to
these struggles and to the contribution of IRAC to advance a pluralistic living
environment in Israel's capital.
Presented by Congregation Beth Elohim and co-sponsored by Meretz USA.
