Upside-Down Love: A Conversation with Sari Bashi
The American Council for Judaism, Community Church of New York, Jewish Currents, Rabbis for Ceasefire and 15th Street Monthly Meeting (Quakers), invite you to an evening with author and human rights lawyer Sari Bashi, in conversation with Rabbi Andy Kahn, discussing her memoir Upside-Down Love.
Upside-Down Love tells the story of Sari and her partner Osama, a Palestinian professor originally from Gaza, and the life they have built together in the West Bank under the apartheid conditions of restricted movement, legal uncertainty, and enforced separation. The memoir speaks to the unique circumstances of this specific moment in history, while also illustrating a timeless truth: Love will triumph over bigotry and destruction.
Together, Sari Bashi and Rabbi Kahn will explore how personal story, law, and Jewish ethical frameworks can illuminate paths toward a more humane future.

Hosting with the Shabbat Haggadah
Want to host Shabbat but not sure where to start?
Join us for Hosting with the Shabbat Haggadah, a live class on using ACJ's monthly Shabbat guide to bring people together around your table.
We'll walk through the blessings, talk through the questions hosts run into (What about the Hebrew? What if my guests have very different backgrounds? What if I'm the least experienced person there?), and help you plan your own Shabbat meal.
No experience or Hebrew required. You'll leave with a worksheet, a marked-up guide, and a plan.
