A Beth Jacob Community Gathering for Study, Reflection, & Sharing
Sunday, March 14, 7 Pm at Beth-Jacob.org/Year
We have experienced a year of loss, hardship, and upheaval. We have also found sparks of resilience, creativity, and perseverance. We have not been able to congregate together, yet we are still tied together as a sacred community. Join us for a Beth Jacob community gathering to mark this year of pandemic, through ritual and study led by our rabbis, as well as reflection and sharing with members of our community. We will mourn the many losses; we will share stories from the year that has passed and hopes for the year to come, drawing on the wisdom of our Jewish traditions to carry us forward in strength.

Join us to Hear Daniel Aschheim discuss “The Complex Dynamics of Jewish Identity – Past, Present and Future”! Daniel Aschheim is the Consul for Public Diplomacy at the Israeli Consulate in Chicago. He will discuss his Ph.D. dissertation on Bruno Kreisky, the Jewish (and non-Zionist) leader of the Social Democratic Party of Austria and chancellor of Austria between 1970-1983 and how it relates to the broader trends and issues confronting American Jews today and their relationship to Israel. He will also give an overview of the situation in Israel and the Middle East vis-a-vis Israeli upcoming elections, COVID-19 and its impact on Israeli society, securing peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbors, and the U.S./Israel relationship with the new Administration in place.
