Jewish World Watch works to mobilize synagogues, their schools, their members and the community to combat genocide and other egregious violations of human rights around the world through education, advocacy, and refugee relief.
Human rights activist John Prendergast and Oscar-nominated actor Don Cheadle bring us an empowering and hopeful new book, The Enough Moment, as they reveal the steps being taken by engaged citizens—”Upstanders”—famous and unknown, here and abroad, to combat genocide, rape, and child soldierdom in Africa. This event is presented in partnership with The Enough Project.
Kever Avot Services will highlight the profound significance of the day when we visit the graves of our loved ones and remember their lives, appreciating the difference they made in our lives and in the lives of others.
