Lunch and Learn
Tuesdays thru May (No Class on 5/17)
12:00pm – Learning Center and via Zoom
Lunch and Learn with Rabbi Paley returns each week to bring into focus conversations about philosophical ideas in Jewish peoplehood, practice, faith, and ethics. Using the Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism curriculum from the Hartman Institute, we will explore Jewish ethical questions that impact all of us:
¨ What do I owe my inner circle, and what do I owe to others?
¨ How do I maintain relationships with integrity when people wrong one another?
¨ How should I balance competing values when making a decision?
¨ What are the obligations of parents to children and vice versa?

In-person Friday Night Shabbat services are back. That means we need you to help welcome attendees. The procedures are a little different right now, as congregants are being asked to take their own books and flyers from the carts and return them to the carts afterward. Some congregants will ask you to hand them a book or take it back from them when services end. Please do not sign up if you are uncomfortable handing books to or from other people.
You must be fully vaccinated. If you feel able to help, please sign up at

We learned about its many programs for people who have different forms of Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Our next meeting will be our turn to host at the home of Susan Beck, 4607 Briar Oaks Circle, Dallas, 75287, Monday, May 16th at 10AM. We will be discussing marriage traditions between our religions. Please bring albums or other traditional symbols that your faith uses.
We will also be hosting a Hallall lunch for all. It should be fun and informative.
Please text or phone the Chairman Jane Lachman at 214-808-0043 if you will be joining us and if you will be contributing something for lunch.

| Crucial Conversations: Challenging AAPI Hatred
A four-part series on challenging hatred against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). We aim to foster an increased understanding of the origins and history of discrimination against the AAPI community, to discuss the recent increase in anti-AAPI violence and rhetoric, and to identify concrete steps that can be taken to confront and disrupt AAPI hatred. For these sessions, we will convene a diverse group of experts to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas.
Session 2: The Past, Part 2
Thursday, June 2 – 7:00pm
In the second session of this series, we will continue our discussion of the history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States, including the immigrant and refugee experiences, anti-AAPI laws, and challenges faced and overcome by AAPI communities.
Session 3: The Present
Thursday, July 7 – 7:00pm
In the third session, we will discuss current-day discrimination with a focus on hate crimes, stereotypes, and perceptions of Asian Americans. The U.S. saw a drastic increase in anti-Asian rhetoric and attacks following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Who is participating in the rise of discrimination, and how does this impact AAPI communities?
Session 4: The Future
Thursday, August 4 – 7:00pm
In the final session, we will discuss concrete strategies to combat AAPI hatred. Building on the foundation of history, knowledge, and understanding developed during the series, this session will serve as a call to action for all of us to engage in this work. |
