Hand in Hand: Arab-Jewish Partnership for a Brighter Future
Tue / Jul 23 / 12:00 pm / Online
Rabbi Zuckerman, Leah Beinhaker, and Mohamad Marzouk
At a time when the divisions in Israel are greater than ever and Jews and Arabs live in separation, fear, and violence, Hand in Hand is on a mission to change the narrative. In this special summer session of Contemporary Jewish Thought, join Rabbi Zuckerman in dialogue with two leaders from Hand in Hand, an organization which works towards transforming Arab-Jewish relations in Israel through the power of shared living, including six schools and communities across Israel. Now more than ever, learn about how the power of dialogue and shared living can break down barriers and impact communities for a more peaceful future.

Adult Bnei Mitzvah
Never had the chance to have a Bar/Bat Mitzvah when you were younger and wish you could? Now is your chance! We are exploring the possibility of holding an Adult Bnei Mitzvah class beginning in the fall of 2024 and culminating with participants reading Torah and sharing words of Torah during services on Shavuot (Monday, June 2, 2025). This in-person class will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 6:15-7:30 pm and is open to PAS members only.
