As an inclusive community, we have been updating guidelines for our religious observances. The Inclusion Committee wishes to recognize and thank Terry Novick and Marc Schwartz from the Religion Committee for their ongoing work to update our congregation’s guidelines for observance that support the changing needs of our community.
We are excited to share that planning is underway for a “Dinner & D’var” (d’var refers to d’var Torah, or a word of Torah – often a brief analysis of that week’s Torah portion) on the topic of Jews of color, including a meal sponsored by Jared Susco. We look forward to enriching our understanding of how Jews of color may experience Jewish spaces and discussing ways to make all people feel comfortable at Society Hill Synagogue. We hope to announce a guest speaker and set the date soon, so look for more information to come.
In joyful collaboration with the synagogue’s clergy, lay leaders, Executive Director, committee chairs, and others, we are learning, growing, and continually striving to make our community more welcoming and inclusive for all. Input and participation are always welcome! Feel free to contact Debbie Stewart.
