Announcements

One of our young congregants, Anna Oestreich is in College and doing International Affairs.  She has just returned from Kazakhstan as part of her studies. She would like to talk with anyone in the congregation who works in anything related to conflict resolution or peace. It wouldn’t need to be global — working with this stuff on a small scale in our own communities is great too!  She is in a class about religious philosophy and nonviolence, and for a project needs to interview someone who works in this sphere.

If you meet this need and would be willing to talk with Anna, please let me know and I will provide contact information to both parties.

Thanks, 

Rabbi Lenny
