LUNCH & LEARN STUDY GROUP

On Tuesday, March 28th, 46 (members and non-members) attended our annual Lunch & Learn study group at Temple Emeth.  After a delicious lunch, we were treated to a very interesting and thought-provoking presentation by Lori Fein, Director of the Jewish Community Relations Committee.  She spoke to us about the role of Jewish women as advocates in Biblical times, as well as in this era of change.  Lori also shared information about issues regarding the current rise in anti-Semitism, ways to be agents of change, and the ever-increasing anti-Israel sentiment on college campuses.
