DESCRIPTION:This event is part of a Monthly Study Series \nProphetic Voices\, Then and Now\nWith Rabbi Barbara Symons\nMonday\, October 20 at 3pm ET / Noon PT\nSign up \nWhat does it mean to be a prophet? What does prophecy demand of us today? In this session\, we’ll sketch a “job description” of a prophet\, and explore who the Hebrew prophets were. Then we’ll turn to the week’s Haftarah (prophetic reading)—analyzing the text through the prophet’s lens and then offering alternative voices as we listen carefully for the call to action. This class invites us to hear the prophets anew\, and to ask how their message challenges and empowers us. \nAnyone who registers for this class will receive a discount code for Rabbi Symons’s book\, Prophetic Voices\, from the CCAR Press. \nThis program is organized by Laasok: The Liberal Beit MIdrash\, and co-sponsored by: A Wider Bridge\, AMMUD: Jews of Color Torah Academy\, CCAR Press\, the Central Conference of American Rabbis\, Central Synagogue\, Congregation B’nai Israel in Little Rock\, Arkansas\, Congregation Shaarey Zedek in East Lansing\, Michigan\, Congregation Shir Chadash of the Hudson Valley\, Keshet\, Kirva Institute\, Temple B’nai Or in Morristown\, New Jersey\, Temple Judea in Coral Gables\, Temple Sholom in Scotch Plains\, New Jersey\, Tzedek Box\, the Union for Reform Judaism\, and the Religious Action Center. \nP art of the “Social Justice in our Texts” Study Series.\nFree and open to all.

SUMMARY:“The Jews: An Indigenous People:” AWB Author Chat with Ben M. Freeman
DESCRIPTION:Join A Wider Bridge in conversation with acclaimed LGBTQ Jewish author and activist\, Ben M. Freeman on his latest book. In The Jews: An Indigenous People\, the final installment of his seminal Jewish Pride trilogy\, Ben takes readers on a powerful journey through 3\,000 years of Jewish history. Exploring the origins of Jewish identity and practice and their resonance today\, Ben arrives at an academically sound and quite simply logical conclusion: Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel. \nLearn from Ben in this engaging session about what it means to be a proud LGBTQ in today’s world\, grounded in our shared truth and history. \nRegister Here\n \nPurchase The Jews: An Indigenous People (U.S. Version) \nAbout Ben M. Freeman\nBen is founder of the modern Jewish Pride movement\, a leader\, public intellectual\, and educator. He is the author of the seminal Jewish Pride: Rebuilding a People (2021) and its follow up\, Reclaiming our Story: The Pursuit of Jewish Pride (2022). The finale of his Jewish Pride trilogy\, The Jews: An Indigenous People\, was published in February 2025. \nFocusing on Jewish identity and the historical and contemporary Jew-hatred\, Ben M. Freeman works to educate\, inspire\, and empower. As a Holocaust scholar for over fifteen years\, he gained prominence during the Corbyn Labour Jew-hate crisis in the UK\, quickly establishing himself as one of his generation’s leading Jewish thinkers. Ben was voted number 8 on the inaugural 25 Young ViZionaries list by The Jerusalem Post and JNF-USA. Additionally\, he serves as a Jewish Diplomat for the World Jewish Congress and a Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism Policy.
