JPrideRVA - Ancestral Allyship

Thursday, June 11

7:00 PM

Ancestral Allyship, a new book by Rabbi Mike Moskowitz, is rooted in the knowledge that how we treat each other defines our religious identity. Allyship is often seen as a response by someone of privilege to the oppression or affliction of another. This is only necessary when the unity of our humanity has already broken down. In the Jewish tradition, we are obligated to proactively prevent this breakdown. When we attach ourselves to God’s expectations of ethical living, cleaving to an ideal way of being, we strive to create a world free from all forms of dehumanization. This book helps us to move closer toward it.
Books will be available for purchase and book signing to follow.
