We gathered for our 19th birthday, the start of our 20th year, in a time of so much danger and possibility. Our service included songs being sung as wild resistance in Minnesota, and for our torah study we were joined by Minneapolis Jewish activists Sharon Jaffe and Jessica Rosenberg to share what their experience has been, how people have organized, and what might come next.

We used three short videos as part of the service, which you’ll see as still images in the slide deck:
