The Fragility of Home: A Movement Sukkot
We will be joined by Rabbi Aryeh Cohen, Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez, Elda Mendez-Lemus, Sam Prater, and Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky who will discuss the housing crisis, the demands that faith traditions call on us to act–and how. This will be an interactive event–a learning and action lab. Come expecting to participate. Light refreshments will be served.
