Brief Message from Rabbi Gartenberg
This Shabbat around Seattle (1/13/06, Friday, 6:30pm in downtown Seattle; see below for the calender link to the event) will be hosted by Rob Dolin and Hilary Madsen who are social activists. In the spirit of Martin Luther King's Birthday, our Shabbat conversation will focus on the roots of a life committed to social justice. I will share some of the great Biblical texts which form the foundation for a passion for social justice. People will share their stories about what moved them to fight for a cause and to improve the world. Seating is limited so rsvp as soon as possible if you would like to join Panim Hadashot for this special evening. When you rsvp we send you the details for the feast. LINK
