Cultural Connections (Offsite)
Sunday, July 13, 1:00 p.m.
Kevin Moran Park, 12415 Scully Avenue Saratoga
The goal of cultural connections is to bring together people of different faiths to foster collective and meaningful dialogue. We’ll be pairing participants up with people that don’t share their religion or faith. Then, each group will get a list of questions that are meant to spark broader conversations about the differences and similarities of different religions. Although you might think they’re different, many of the basic principles and values of these faiths are quite similar, and we hope this experience helps you learn that! Register | More Info

CHAIM at the APJCC
JFS has generously donated their rented space at the LEVY campus (Ste 202) through the end of August. https://www.thechaim.org/exhibitions
- Take the opportunity to visit or to arrange for a group or friends to visit and learn not only about the history surrounding the Holocaust, but about antisemitism, hate in general and how to combat it.
- The exhibit can only be open when there is a volunteer there, so if you have time to hang out there for a few hours, please let me know and we can add that to the calendar. Contact Iris (irisbendahan@gmail.com, 408-892-5654) or Maya (mayat@jvalley.org, 408. 357. 7429)
- We would love to keep CHAIM at the APJCC, if you have any grant or donation contacts so we can pay rent, let us know as well! (This does not exclude its mobility to schools etc.).
