Bringing Light to the Darkness of Injustice (featuring Rev. Dr. LaKeisha Cook)

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 19:32:41 GMT

In the biblical Exodus story, God afflicts the oppressive Egyptians with a plague of darkness, in which “People could not see one another.” In this episode (recorded at Temple Beth-El’s virtual Shabbat morning service on January 23, 2021), Rabbi Knopf and special guest Rev. Dr. LaKeisha Cook, Justice Reform Organizer at Virginia Interfaith Center for Public policy, discuss the connections between the plague of darkness and modern-day injustice, and a justice agenda for Virginia and the nation in 2021. Temple Beth-El is committed to leading people into growing relationships with Jewish community, wisdom, and practice that help them thrive intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually and that inspire them to build a more compassionate, just, and peaceful world.
