Pathways to Progress with Joy Ladin
Join us on Wednesday, August 27 at 12:00 PM ET for our latest virtual Pathways to Progress panel, "The Hope is Always in Our Hands: Jews, Democracy, and Torah through a Trans Lens," featuring Dr. Joy Ladin.
Many of us are simultaneously wrestling with threats to American democracy, Jewish life, and LGBTQ rights. We know these struggles intersect with and magnify one another, but in this conversation, we will explore the strengths and wisdom that our American, Jewish and LGBTQ identities offer in these struggles, and how they can help us navigate fears and questions that can sometimes feel overwhelming.
We hope you'll join us online on Wednesday, August 27 at 12:00 PM ET for this meaningful panel! Register here.
We're excited to announce that, for the first time ever, we're allowing Pathways to Progress attendees to pre-submit questions for the speaker! If you have a question on the discussion topic that you'd like to see Joy answer, you can submit it ahead of time here.
The Pathways to Progress speaker series is supported by the Breman Foundation.
