Reparations and Jewish Thought: HUC Connect Civil Society Webinar

HUC Connect Civil Society Webinar: Reparations and Jewish Thought

Tuesday, May 10 at 2:00 p.m. ET

In this series, we probe the pressing concerns of our civic life today, including race and identity, elections, prison reform, and religious voices on social justice issues. There is no doubt America was built by enslaved people. Though many argue whether anything is owed to their descendants, Judaism strongly disagrees. Join us as we explore reparations through a Jewish lens. 

Rabbi Jonathan Crane, Raymond F. Schinazi Scholar of Bioethics and Jewish Thought at the Ethics Center at Emory University, Professor of Medicine at the Emory School of Medicine, and Professor of Religion at Emory College of Arts and Sciences will be in conversation with Christina Jefferson, MS HRM, the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the San Francisco 49ers. The conversation will be moderated by Andrew Rehfeld, President of Hebrew Union College.
