SUMMARY:JCLP: Jewish Women in the Advent of Women's Liberation and Women's Studies in Ann Arbor and U-M
DESCRIPTION:Jewish and Other Identities in the Emergence of a Movement \nJoin us for a panel discussion on the rise of feminist activism at U-M and in Ann Arbor from 1968–1972. Pioneering activists Gayle Rubin\, Rayna Rapp\, Ellen Meeropol\, Beth Schneider\, and Joanne Parrent will reflect on the development of feminist consciousness and the central role of Jewish and other identities in shaping the movement. The conversation will be moderated by Karla Goldman and is part of IHP’s project site Outsiders\, Insiders\, Radicals\, and Reformers: A History of Jews at the University of Michigan. \nIn coordination with the project site and two Fall IHP courses—on Jews in U-M history (taught by Deborah Dash Moore) and women in U-M history (taught by Gayle Rubin)—the panel will explore the emergence of feminist consciousness\, the activism it sparked in Ann Arbor and on campus\, and why Jewish students and faculty were so deeply involved in these efforts. \nSchedule\nPanel Discussion and Q&A: 6–8 p.m.\nReception with light fare: 8–9 p.m. \nThis is the second event in IHP’s Insiders and Outsiders series\, following a March program featuring food writers (and U-M alums) Joan Nathan and Ruth Reichl with Zingerman’s co-founder Ari Weinzweig. \nThis event is co-presented by the U-M Inclusive History Project and the Jewish Communal Leadership Program. It is co-sponsored by the Women’s and Gender Studies Department and the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies’ David W. Belin Lecture Fund. The Belin Lecture Fund is named after David W. Belin\, a businessman\, public servant\, and leader within the American Jewish community. \n  \nRSVP HERE: https://myumi.ch/rApmM

SUMMARY:Jewish Communal Leadership Program Communal Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Building Bridges in a Divided World: The role of Interfaith collaboration in justice work\nJoin the Jewish Communal Leadership Program (JCLP) for a panel discussion about the transformative potential of interfaith work. \nIn the wake of a year shaped by a global pandemic\, protests for racial justice\, extreme political polarization\, and more\, so many in and outside the Jewish community are facing personal crises and family tragedies. Through it all\, we have seen communities respond to those in need by forming and expanding mutual aid networks\, advocating for comprehensive safety protocols and transparency\, highlighting inequalities\, and finding ways to stay connected in the midst of so much physical isolation. Faith-based and interfaith organizations have been uniquely positioned to offer support in this time.\nWe are so excited to explore this subject with five distinguished interfaith professionals: \nAziza Hazan\nExecutive Director of NewGround: A Muslim Jewish Partnership for Change \nReverend Amanda Henderson\nDirector of the Institute of Religion\, Politics & Culture at the Iliff School of Theology\,\nFormer Executive Director of the Interfaith Alliance of Colorado \nPastor Aramis Hinds\nExecutive Director of the Bethel Community Transformation Center and lead pastor at Breakers Covenant Church in Detroit \nRabbi Andrea London\nRabbi at Beth Emet in Chicago\nFormer Co-Chair of JCUA’s Jewish-Muslim Community Building Initiative Advisory Committee \nRabbi Samuel L. Spector\nRabbi at Congregation Kol Ami in Salt Lake City \nRSVP for the Zoom information at http://ssw.umich.edu/r/jclpcc21\nLearn more at the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/491858005148792?active_tab=about
