The Road To Freedom
The Road To Freedom event celebrates the modern
Exodus of the Ethiopian Jews, which began in 1991, when hundreds of
thousands of Ethiopian Jews were flown from their native country to
their new homeland in Israel. This phase of the Exodus was completed in
2008. We
will
celebrate in grand style-with Ethiopian food and drink, a
specially curated music set by world music DJ/Six Degrees Recording
artist Cheb I Sabbah, photographs by the wonderful Trudi Unger, a
mini-bazaar featuring Jewish Ethiopian handmade products, experiences
from Ethiopian traveler Dan Aufhauser, and a grand ceremony to honor
Ra'anan Kesar, the pilot who flew many of the Ethiopians from Ethiopia
to the land of milk and honey. We will also look at our local Jewish
federation's work with the newly transplanted people, and how they
helped the Ethiopian newcomers find economic freedom in Israel after
their long journey. This is a GET FED presentation.
When: Thursday, April 2, 7:00pm
Where: New Eritrea Restaurant
907 Irving St, SF (between 10th and 11th Avenues)

Exodus and Revolution
Is Passover your
favorite holiday of the year? Keep that spirit going until Shavuot (and
beyond)! Mark your calendar for Thursday evenings, April 30, May 7, 14, and 21
for an exciting new educational series, Exodus and Revolution. After two
successful runs in NY and one in DC, we are now bringing this course to San
Francisco. Based on Michael Walzer's book, Exodus and Revolution, the course will
explore how the book of Exodus inspires our work for social change throughout
history and today. Each session will feature a local superstar educator/rabbi.
Details TBA, stay tuned!
Join the AVODAH-AJWS Social Change Book Group!
The next book we are reading is Dreams from My Father, by Barack Obama. Dreams from My Father
tells the story of Obama's struggle to understand the forces that
shaped him as the son of a black African father and white American
mother-a struggle that takes him from the American heartland to the
ancestral home of his great-aunt in the tiny African village of Alego.
We'd love to have you join us for interesting conversation and action
around a variety of social justice, environmental, education, human
rights and health issues.

JDub Records
brought the party to San Francisco on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, with
a rocking show at The Independent. Featuring Golem, Sway Machinery,
and the Bay Area's own Extra Action Marching Band, a full house got
down with crazy Yiddish and Hebrew lyrics.

DC
Alumni
and friends have been gathering for the first three parts of Exodus and
Revolution, based on the series in New York. Rabbi Erica Asch, a DC
based community organizer and AJWS alum, has been facilitating discussions about freedom and obligation, challenging the way we act and don't act in the world.
The 2009 Labor Seder
was a smashing success, chock full of 200 people young and old, and a good
helping of AVODAH-niks. The Seder brought together faith groups, unions, and
community based organization in solidarity with day laborers struggling for
worker protections in Washington, DC. AVODAH alumni were represented by Mollie
Churchill (NY 00-01) blessing the third cup of wine. AVODAH alumni also taking

On March 3rd, the AVODAH-AJWS-HAZON Book Club met to discuss Emma Larkin's Finding George Orwell in Burma.
AJWS alum Emily Gold facilitated a conversation that addressed the
book's merits as a travelogue, why she chose the lens of Orwell to
write about Burma, and whether or not this was successful. AVODAH staff
members Ari Shapiro and Karen Elam attended as well as alum Melinda
Koster (DC 06-07).
The
new AVODAH-AJWS NY City Team for 2009-2010 has officially begun its
work! On March 15th, 6 of the 8 new team members came together for a
kick-off retreat in order to start thinking about how they are going to
use their time together this coming year. Like last year's team, the
new AVODAH-AJWS NY City Team will coordinate three community-building
events over the course of the year and will make an effort to meet with
individuals in the community (such as yourself!) on a one-on-one basis.
This year's team includes Miriam Eisenberger (NY 02-03) and Diana Levy
(NY 07-08). The AVODAH-AJWS Partnership is grateful to the 2008-09 City
Team for its pioneering efforts and amazing community building
achievements! The 2008-09 Team included Sarra Alpert (NY 02-03),
Melinda Koster (DC 06-07), and Zach Strassburger (NY 06-07).
The AVODAH-AJWS Partnership hosted a three-part series in March on Exodus and Revolution. Building
off the success of last year's six-part series, the program was an
opportunity for alumni and friends to unpack Michael Walzer's Exodus and Revolution.
Rabbi Brent Spodek, the Director of Jewish Communal Relations at AJWS,
led three dynamic and probing discussions related to slavery,
liberation, and the meaning of covenanted obligation.
On
Sunday, March 22nd and Sunday, March 29th, 16 alumni and friends came
together for a Board Service for Social Change training on how to serve on a non-profit board of
directors. Led by Marie Zieger from the Support Center for Non-Profit
Management, the training was a great opportunity for leaders in our
community to learn some hard skills related to board service while
closely examining their personal values and passions. The participants
included Molly Bowen (NY 07-08), Shelley Goldman (NY 05-06), Katie
Goldstein (NY 07-08), and Melinda Koster (DC 06-07). Monthly follow-up
sessions will begin in May 2009 and will be open to the wider
community. This training was made possible due to generous support from
the Jewish Women's Foundation.

AVODAH News
Exodus and Revolution Sourcebook available in time for Passover
The liberation of
the Israelites from Egypt
stands at the core of the Biblical conception of justice. It is the basis of millions
of efforts towards justice both large and small, and it stands at the center of
our work at the AVODAH-AJWS Partnership.
Exodus and Revolution by Michael
Walzer is one of the most intelligent and powerful explorations of what
the Exodus narrative means both for Jews and political actors through
history. We are delighted to share with you a pdf version of the Exodus and Revolution Sourcebook developed by AJWS' education department.
More than anywhere else in the Jewish
tradition, the Exodus narrative articulates a vision of justice which
prioritizes liberation from oppression, a covenanted community and an unending
aspiration for a tomorrow that is better than today. We hope you will take this
Passover season to help this era's Jews join in the pursuit of this goal.
How much can you
GET?
At the alumni retreat we
discussed having a goal of getting one hundred alumni to raise $500 and reach out to at
least thirty people by the end of April. No need to get gory,
but you all see what is happening in the economy, so finding more small (or
large) donors is extremely helpful.
If everyone just sent word about
AVODAH to at least thirty people that is over 6,000 folks who hear about AVODAH. That is huge! If all the alumni meet or exceed the goal of $500 that's
INCREDIBLE. Whoa. Getting excited just thinking about
it.
Please join me, and get started
TODAY. To learn about how to set up a fundraising page and for some fundraising tips, read the
materials available here.
Thanks,
Yosh
Schulman (NY 98-99)
