[Jewish] Discussion on Israel/Gaza for members of the Hampshire Jewish Community Wed. @ 8:30 pm

[Steven Nathan]

Dear Jewish Students, Faculty and Staff:

In response to the recent events in Gaza, Students for Promoting Israel 
Culture and Information (formerly UPZ) and I are sponsoring an open 
forum on Gaza for members of the Hampshire Jewish community.  This is an 
opportunity for Jews on campus to have a safe space to discuss their 
thought, feelings and reactions to the war in Gaza.  In order to provide 
safe space for ALL opinions, this program is limited to Jewish students, 
staff and faculty.  It is my hope to have another open conversation for 
the entire campus, as has happened before together with SJP, in the 
future as well.

The program will be tomorrow, Wednesday January 21 @ 8:30 pm in the 
Merrill Living Room.

Shalom/Salaam,
spn

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
