DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the work of the Marin Organizing Committee, the Center for 
 Jewish Life at the Osher Marin JCC is partnering with ten local and 
 regional Jewish organizations to present an evening of learning and 
 community connection on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, at 7pm. "The Jewish 
 Approach to Social Justice" will feature Jill Jacobs, Rabbi-in-residence at 
 the Jewish Funds for Justice, and author of There Shall Be No Needy - 
 Pursuing Social Justice Through Jewish Law and Tradition, in conversation 
 with Rabbi Lavey Derby of Congregation Kol Shofar in Tiburon. Participants 
 will also have an opportunity to engage in one-on-one relational meetings 
 to explore their own experiences with social justice and begin to build the 
 connections that serve as groundwork for establishing a holy community.  
 This event is co-sponsored by Congregation Kol Shofar, Congregation Rodef 
 Sholom, Brandeis Hillel Day School, the Marin regions of the Jewish 
 Community Federation and the Jewish Community Relations Council and 
 American Jewish World Service in association with Congregation Gan Ha'Lev, 
 the Progressive Jewish Alliance, Hazon and Jewish Family and Children's 
 Services.\n\nMeredith Parnell, Director of Communications for Congregation 
 Rodef Sholom, sees this event as an opportunity "to help people understand 
 the difference between the traditional view of Tikkun Olam (repairing the 
 world), which is based on doing things for those in need, and the idea of 
 building a relational community that is organizing for political 
 change."\n\nThe Center for Jewish Life at the Osher Marin JCC, funded by 
 the Koret and Taube Foundations, is dedicated to providing adult Jewish 
 learning opportunities to both Jews and non-Jews in the North Bay. Monthly 
 classes with JCC Scholar Rabbi Darren Kleinberg include "On One Foot - All 
 of Judaism in 60 Minutes", "Repairing the World" and "Why Be Jewish? 
 Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Family".\n
