Addressing Polarization
Congregation Shearith strives to be a community of Ahavat Chinam, love for the sake of love, love for the sake of understanding, love for the sake of lifting one another out of despair and doing the work of healing our wounds and our illness. Since we have many congregants who feel passionate about combating polarization, CSI is proud to partner with One America Movement so we may all work together to make an impact.
when/where we meet:
TBD — this new initiative just launched at the Say Chai at CSI event on August 18!
what we do:
The pattern of polarization, demonization, and dehumanization have been seen before, and it’s happening again. One America Movement is a national organization committed to doing something about it.
CSI is developing an initial project for Sunday, September 22 at Rebecca’s Tent. Our hope is to create an ongoing connection between ourselves and Intown Community Church where we do good work and explore our real differences.
how to get involved:
A limited number of congregants will be part of our initial event on September 22 (due to capacity at Rebecca’s Tent). Please stay tuned to the weekly eBlast for more information as we schedule an initial time for anyone who is interested to meet.
