It accompanies a lecture series co-sponsored by the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies. Leading scholars in Jewish Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Religious Studies will share cutting-edge research that deepens the conversation about race, racism and anti-racism in contemporary society, both American and Jewish.

MarMarch 7 , 2021Religious School Parent Meeting to Discuss GBIO Activities
Sunday, Mar 7th 10:30a to 11:00a
The Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) had tremendous success during the past year advocating for policies that improved the lives of Commonwealth residents. When the COVID pandemic tanked the economy, GBIO helped some of the neediest avoid eviction or mortgage foreclosure. Healthcare now includes telehealth visits, notification about out-of-network procedures, and free COVID testing and vaccinations due, in part, to the work of GBIO. In response to the horrific murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis policeman, Massachusetts created the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission. It will have the power to investigate police misconduct, to subpoena records and testimony, and to decertify police officers that have abused their authority. How can BUSY parents and ACTIVE Religious School students get involved with an organization that accomplishes so much for the residents of Massachusetts? What activities should GBIO undertake in the coming year that interest you? Should a religious school class adopt an activity like this in the future as part of the curriculum? Co-Liaisons Louise Enoch and Tony Broh would like your help celebrating GBIO accomplishments and exploring your ideas about greater engagement with the Religious School. For questions or suggestions, email lpenoch@gmail.com or c.anthony@broh.com. -
