On Wednesday, December 22, 2021 the TOS Health & Safety Committee met to discuss our COVID-19 policies, in light of the increase in case numbers and presence of the Omicron variant. As we are all aware, COVID-19 case numbers in Massachusetts are among the highest in the nation. As of now, most people who are fully vaccinated (meaning three doses of mRNA vaccines, or one dose of Johnson & Johnsons vaccine boosted with an mRNA vaccine) are protected from severe symptoms. However, we do not yet know the significance of the spread of the Omicron variant on people's long-term health, or those who are at higher risk of more serious symptoms. 

All of our adult TOS programming (Shabbat services, Adult Education classes and committee meetings) will be virtual through the month of January, available on Zoom and livestream. Our schools and offices will remain open. 

Because the situation is ever-changing, we will be in close contact with our Health & Safety committee to make any necessary changes in the coming weeks. We are committed to providing as much notice and transparency as possible.

This winter, join with members of Temple Ohabei Shalom and Shir Hadash to explore the Jewish obligation to create a more just world. Over five weeks, from January 20th -February 17th, we will imagine a world in which Jews of all racial and ethnic backgrounds build authentic, sustained solidarity with one another and in deep relationship with other communities targeted by white supremacy.

Organized and led by Kavod, a justice-oriented Jewish community based in Boston, this workshop series first examines the social construction of race, and the consequences of this social construction in the United States throughout history and into the present. Looking inwards, participants evaluate their personal racial identity and family history to identify how they have benefited from and/or been harmed by racism and antisemitism. Participants also identify the varied, interlocking ways in which white supremacy operates ideologically, institutionally, internally, and interpersonally in the United States.

Then, participants move to action, studying historical examples of Jewish involvement in racial justice work and applying lessons learned to the contemporary needs of the racial justice movement. Participants leave with a commitment toward concrete action to begin or expand their community’s racial justice work.

Registration is limited. Please RSVP here.

Thursdays, Jan 20th - Feb 17th 7:00-9:15pm
Please plan to attend all sessions.
