Rafi Forbush to Speak Tomorrow

Shabbat morning, August 30

 

Rafi Forbush has been a part of our lives at Beth Jacob for all of his life (and our Purim celebration wouldn't be the same without him!). 

Tomorrow during services at Beth Jacob Congregation, this former Beth Jacob USYer will share his experiences growing up as Jew of Color in a world of whiteness. As the events in Ferguson and the rampant anti-semitism throughout the world momentarily recedes into the background for some, it remains a real issue for many.

Make sure to check out Betty Rosenstein's winning entry in the competitive "Afghan, crocheted, no larger than 42 in. x 42 in." category! See you there!
