Samantha Silverman: Praying with Our Feet, Mobilizing Our Community for a Better Tomorrow

Thu, June 11 // 6:30 pm

During the Civil Rights era, Rabbi Abraham Heschel joined Martin Luther King, Jr. in his Alabama march from Selma to Montgomery. Rabbi Heschel said afterward, “I prayed with my feet.” Join YAD’s new discussion series “The Jew in You” for a stimulating dialog about the history of Jewish activism and ways we can support our black and brown brothers and sisters in the future.

Samantha Silverman has worked as a Jewish educator for over a decade. She currently works as a director of Camp Haverim. She received her BA in Jewish Studies and Hebrew Literature from UCLA and her MA in Religious Studies with an emphasis on Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism from Yale.
