SUMMARY:Our Palestine Question: A Conversation With Author Geoffrey Levin
DESCRIPTION:Join author Geoffrey Levin for a conversation with Rabbi Lizzi about his new book\, Our Palestine Question: Israel and American Jewish Dissent\, 1948-1978. In this book\, Levin recovers the voices of American Jews who\, in the early decades of Israel’s existence\, called for an honest reckoning with the moral and political plight of Palestinians. In reconstructing this hidden history\, Levin lays the groundwork for more forthright debates over Palestinian rights issues\, American Jewish identity\, and the U.S.-Israel relationship more broadly. The book has won multiple awards\, including the American Jewish Historical Society Academic Council’s Saul Viener Book Prize\, awarded biennially to an outstanding book focused on the history of Jews in the Americas. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Chicago 101 with the Mishkan Local Action Team
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mishkan Local Action Team for a different kind of Jewish learning — exploring how our city works and how we can work for our city. Rooted in Jewish values of justice\, responsibility\, and collective action\, we’ll dig into the structure of Chicago’s government — from elected officials to the city budget — and how these systems shape our daily lives. Engaging in elections and voting isn’t just civic duty — it’s a Jewish value. When we learn together as a community\, we become the most informed\, powerful advocates we can be. Chicago is known as “The City that Works” — and when we organize\, we can make it work for everyone. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Standing Together: A Conversation With Israeli and Palestinian Grassroots Leaders
DESCRIPTION:After Minyan on Wednesday\, April 30th\, we’ll be joined by leaders in the Standing Together movement\, whose mission is to bring equality\, political and climate justice to all citizens of Israel\, and peaceful coexistence with Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. On the Eve of Yom HaAtzma’ut\, which celebrates 77 years of Israeli independence\, Itamar Avneri and Angela Mattar — a Jewish and Palestinian leader — will talk about the challenges and bright spots they’re seeing\, and how we here in Chicago can push for the Israel we know is possible. \nAngela Mattar is a Palestinian activist\, medical student\, and leader in Standing Together. Born and raised in the Galilee village of I’billin\, she was driven to activism after witnessing deepening discrimination and violence against Palestinians. The aftermath of October 7th became a turning point\, propelling her to join Standing Together and fight for justice through non-violent resistance. On campus\, she leads efforts to build Jewish-Palestinian partnerships and confront systemic discrimination\, while her activism extends beyond university walls — resisting land theft in places like Al-Makhrour\, Beit Jala. Angela’s work is fueled by hope for justice and equality\, both in broader society and within her own Palestinian community\, where she strives to challenge fear and inspire young people\, especially young girls\, to believe in their power to create change. \nItamar Avneri was born and raised in Kfar Hachoresh\, Israel\, a small kibbutz near Nazareth. For the past 15 years\, he has been living in Tel Aviv. Itamar has a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and sociology from Tel Aviv University\,and a master’s degree in cultural studies from the Hebrew University. He is one of the original founders of the Standing Together movement and a current member of the movement’s national leadership. Itamar is also currently serving as a council member for the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality.” \nRegister

SUMMARY:The 20th Israeli-Palestinian Joint Memorial Day Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:From the American Friends of Combatants for Peace: \nThe Joint Memorial Day Ceremony\, organized by Combatants for Peace and The Parents Circle Families Forum\, is one of the largest Israeli-Palestinian jointly organized peace events in history. The Joint Memorial Ceremony provides a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to grieve together and stand strong in demanding an end to the occupation and ongoing violence. The ceremony occurs yearly on the eve of Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day). In Israeli mainstream culture\, the ceremonies that are most often held to honor this day serve to reinforce cultural narratives of pain\, victimhood\, and hopelessness. The Joint Memorial transforms this narrative by bringing Palestinians to the Memorial alongside Israelis to mourn side by side and model another way forward. \nThis internationally broadcast program begins at 12:30 pm CT and listed end time is an estimate. \nRegister
