Jewish Gateways

Which are you, or would you like to be? Do you have to make a choice?

A PBS TV documentary series, "The Jewish Americans," is now exploring "the struggle between being an American and . . . trying to preserve some part of your heritage or your religion," as one of its producers says. You can watch on Wednesdays Jan. 9, 16, 23 at 9 PM. Whether you see it or not, come discuss how these issues affect you.

Explore these questions, and a no-experience-necessary Shabbat dinner, on Friday, January 25.

Come eat, laugh, and learn. All are welcome.

Time: 6:15 PM

Place: Jewish Gateways' cozy home near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station

Childcare: available by reservation

After gathering at 6:15, we'll continue with:
6:30 - Candle lighting and dinner
7:30 - Rabbi Bridget Wynne will lead a lively interactive teaching on being an American Jew or Jewish American
