DESCRIPTION:Lectures + Gallery Talks:\nThe Boundaries of Pluralism\n\nSh'ma: A Journal 
 of Jewish Responsibility celebrates its move to the West Coast with a 
 conversation at the Museum on the boundaries of pluralistic dialogue and 
 engagement.  The conversation will be moderated by Sh’ma editor Susan 
 Berrin and feature panelists, including Rabbi Lavey Yitzchak Derby, Karen 
 Kushner, Peter L. Stein, and Carole Zawatsky.\n\nAbout the 
 Panelists:\n\nRabbi Lavey Yitzchak Derby, rabbi of Congregation Kol Shofar 
 in Tiburon, has been instrumental in creating a community built on the 
 principles of Torah study, spirituality, quest, practice, and social 
 action. He is an eighth-generation direct descendant of Reb Levi Yitzchak 
 of Berditchev, for whom he is named, and is part of a family line of rabbis 
 that traces back to the year 1500. Before coming to Kol Shofar, Lavey 
 served as the executive director of the Council on Jewish Life, a 
 community-building department of the L.A. Federation, and as director of 
 Jewish education at the 92nd Street “Y” in New York. He is past 
 President of the Northern California Board of Rabbis.\n\nKaren Kushner is 
 executive director of the Jewish Welcome Network, a nonprofit initiative 
 that provides outreach consultation and resources to synagogues, agencies 
 and Jewish schools of all denominations and affiliations in the Bay Area. 
 For over 20 years Karen was a family educator. With Anita Diamant, she is 
 co-author of How to raise a Jewish child: a practical handbook for family 
 life. And, with her husband, Rabbi Larry Kushner, she has written Because 
 nothing looks like god, Where is god? What does god look like? and How does 
 God make things happen?\n\nPeter L. Stein is the Executive Director of the 
 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, the first and largest of its kind in 
 the world and a field leader in the use of media to foster cross-cultural 
 understanding. Prior to taking the helm at SFJFF in 2003, Stein was an 
 executive producer at KQED (PBS/San Francisco), where from 1988-1999 he was 
 responsible for developing and producing a wide range of series and 
 programs for American public television. His feature-length documentary 
 “The Castro,” which he wrote, produced and directed, won a Peabody 
 Award. From 1999-2003 he served as Deputy Director for Programming at The 
 Jewish Museum San Francisco (now the Contemporary Jewish Museum).\n\nCarole 
 Zawatsky is the Chief Program Officer at the Jewish Community Center of San 
 Francisco. A seasoned museum professional, Carole most recently served as 
 founding executive director of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage in 
 Beachwood, Ohio, where she oversaw the museum’s role as a cultural center 
 for Jewish life and history in the region. She served as the director of 
 education at The Jewish Museum, New York, from 1998 until 2004. She was 
 program coordinator at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 
 Washington, D.C., from 1994 to 1998, where she conceptualized, developed, 
 and implemented programs that focused on the lessons of the Holocaust for a 
 broad public audience.\n\nThursday, February 25, 2010\n 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
