Jewish Justice: A World As It Is Versus A World As It Should Be

There is a new grassroots initiative to help bring more Jewish life to the Near Northwest Side, spearhead by Josh Rabin, "The Blue Line Rabbi," a rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary America.

At 10 am on Sunday, February 7th there will be a class open to everyone in the area at the Knockbox Cafe, where we will learn about Judaism's worldview about social justice, and how the ideas of justice, equality, sustainability and others are woven into the fabric of Jewish life. We will study Jewish texts from the Talmud to the Kabbalah to Abraham Joshua Heschel, and modern thinkers from John Rawls to Peter Singer to Nick Kristof.

Everyone is welcome. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Josh at joshua.rabin@gmail.com or visit him at http://www.bluelinerabbi.blogspot.com.

Knockbox Café is located at 1001 North California Ave. (at California and Augusta)
