This presentation will explore the historical intersection of Judaism and the struggle for social justice, with special attention to how it is changing in the current 21st century context. Brant Rosen is the Midwest Regional Director of the American Friends Service Committee, and is the founder and Rabbi of Tzedek Chicago.
