Calling all performers!

The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism convened a zoom gathering so that individual congregations that find themselves more or less isolated from other nearby synagogues, can organize social action events and share information among a group that now comprises 10-15 congregations. One purpose is to look at statewide issues and create a common ground of understanding and action. Forum on Proposition 15: RAC-CA is not taking a pro or con position on Prop. 15. Rather, it... is planning to shed light on the proposition and the issues it addresses with clear information, Jewish wisdom, and dialogue. The lack of funding for California’s schools and essential local services is a profound problem in California. Is Prop 15 a good solution? What does the measure actually do? What Jewish perspectives might inform this vote? Zoom in and Learn! Zoom Tuesday, October 6th, 7:00pm: This Forum will help make sure all Reform Jews in California can cast an informed ballot on this important resolution.
