<div dir="ltr"><em>****Sharing stories from Jewish women and gender-queer folks, Penny’s interactive talk touches on book themes ranging from Jewish multiculturalism to Israel-Palestine -- from healing internalized victimization to resistance to persecution -- from racial justice to alliance-building. She invites us to use privilege to shift power, to have the courage to face our fears, but not act on them; it’s an activist’s call to heal the world!<br /><br />A wonderful, gutsy, and inspiring book. Penny Rosenwasser takes on the most explosive issues in American Jewish life today—racism and anti-Semitism, victimization and privilege, and Jewish politics around Israel and Palestine–and she does it with a generosity of spirit and a clear head. A vision of a progressive Jewishness for a multicultural 21st century comes through proud and clear.”—Karen Brodkin, author, How Jews Became White Folks and What That Says About Race in America<br /><br />The Jewish women you’ll meet in this book will inspire you, make you laugh, and challenge you to be more fierce. This is a book about liberation from our narrow places and the power to change the world. No matter who you are, you’ll learn something new about being human. – Noah T. Winer, Co-founder, <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FMoveOn.org%2F&h=vAQEqpdDw&enc=AZOS9O8d3I-85H_KR2fljgC6KkcGwu2ChMgdF3vgZMbx3fK1ndDTarmN64uoI5iM-tk&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">MoveOn.org</a>;<br />former Board member, Jewish Voice for Peace<br /><br />[The book’s] pages are saturated with Rosenwasser’s brilliant thinking and unwavering love for the Jewish people… I was brought to tears more than once…Hope into Practice is an absolutely inspiring call to action. Because, if not together, how?”—Liz Manlin, <a href="http://jewishcurrents.org/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">JewishCurrents.org</a><br /><br /><br />This event is sponsored by The Center For Feminisms, The Queer Community Alliance Center and Spiritual Life at Hampshire College</em></div>
