Our guest speaker, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, is a symbol of hope to many Israelis and Palestinians, and internationally recognized as a leading advocate for human rights and social justice as a religious, Jewish and Zionist obligation. As the founder of Torat Tzedek (Torah of Justice), he has often put himself at physical risk, and several times stood trial for acts of civil disobedience. Rabbi Ascherman has received numerous awards and recognitions for his human rights work, as did Rabbis For Human Rights which he led for 21 years. He is frequently quoted in the press, is a sought after lecturer, and has contributed chapters to several books.

Join us for a dessert reception, following the talk.

Thanks to Judea Reform's Rabbi Franken & Rabbi Friedman for arranging this guest speaker.
