Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Shabbat Service
Friday, January 15th at 6:30pm
Temple Emanuel’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Shabbat Service, held virtually this year, will feature guest speaker Yolanda Savage-Narva, the Union of Reform Judaism’s new Director of Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) programs. Ms. Savage-Narva’s topic will be “Striving to Create Dr. King’s Beloved Community: Reform Judaism’s Quest for Racial Equality, Diversity and Inclusion”.
In her role as REDI Director, Ms. Savage-Narva is leading the URJ’s efforts to address racial justice and equity in all its forms, as well as other kinds of oppression – looking to what we can do in our own congregation, as well as in the wider world.
You can find a link to the PDF that we will be using for Shabbat services here. We encourage you to print it out, download it in advance, or pull it up on a 2nd device so we can screen share less during the service and enjoy one another’s company more. Links to join the service can be found in the weekly community email.
We hope to see you at this important service!
