Community Shabbat
August 24, 2018 at 5:30pm

Our guest speaker is Rabbi Gershon Sizomu, the leader of the Abayudaya Jews of Uganda. He is the first black rabbi from sub-Saharan Africa to be ordained at an American rabbinic school. The Abayudaya are a growing community of over 1,500 Jews living among their 10,000 Christian and Muslin neighbors. In 2016, Rabbi Sizomu ran for Ugandan Parliament for the second time and won an opposition seat representing the Bungokho North District. He is the first Rabbi to win a seat in Parliament in Uganda's history. Registration link coming shortly.


 

 

 

FOR REFLECTION

At Yom Kippur services, Rabbi Elyssa discussed what change has meant for us as a people. Let's continue the conversation throughout the year as we look at and respond to these questions:

  • What are the seeds you wish to plant for your descendants?
  • How can our faith renew us to embrace change?
  • How is change a holy part of the unfolding story of our people?
  • How might you allow meaningful change to enter your life personally?
