Liberal, Progressive, Zionist: Judaism’s Place in Intersectionality

Description

How can one be progressive, LGBTQ, a person of color, and unabashedly pro-Israel? Hen Mazzig will tell us how through a discussion about personal and political identities, and how storytelling impacts our own identities and relationships. He will also explore how these identities shape his perspective on the events since October 7th and the current situation in Israel.

Join us for this timely and important discussion at the 77th Annual Meeting of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Community Relations Committee & Sidney Z. Vincent Memorial Lecture.
