Yom Kippur Study Session on Confronting Racism

  • Congregation Mishkan Israel 785 Ridge Road Hamden, CT, 06517 United States (map)

As part of the reflection and atonement central to the observance of Yom Kippur,  the High Holy Day schedule at CMI this year includes an “Adult study session with Confronting Racism” on Yom Kippur afternoon from 3 to 4 pm.  

The Confronting Racism planning group will facilitate a reading of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from the Birmingham Jail” and discussion of its continued relevance for our congregation’s ongoing work in confronting racism. There will be both an in-person session at the synagogue and a simultaneous Zoom option.  All  are welcome. Please register on the CMI website for the ZOOM format.

We’re looking for volunteer readers!  Please contact Beth Stenger (beth.stenger@comcast.net) if you would like to participate, and indicate whether you expect to do so in person or by Zoom.  

The text will be distributed in advance to volunteer readers.
