Triangle Shirt Waist Factory Fire with Eugene Boesch
2022-10-31 10:00 - 11:30
On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory at Washington Square in New York City burned, killing 145 workers. It is remembered as one of the most infamous incidents in American industrial history as the deaths were largely preventable – most of the victims, young immigrant women, died as a result of neglected safety features and locked doors within the factory building. The tragedy brought widespread attention to the dangerous workshop conditions of factories of the day and lead to the development of laws and regulations that better protected the safety of workers.

Challenging Time, Ageless Insights: Reproductive Rights: it’s not just about abortion
2022-11-04 10:00 - 11:30
“Challenging Times, Ageless Insights” offers participants the opportunity to engage with clergy in exploring contemporary issues through a Jewish lens. These discussions will provide insights, debate, and if we are successful, even more questions.
This month will feature Rabbi David Holtz of Temple Beth Abraham: From Judaism’s very beginning, the issue of reproduction has been very down to earth, and also deeply connected with God and spirituality. Our tradition has always acknowledged that women do and should have a powerful voice when it comes to sexuality and their own bodies. We’ll explore the sometimes surprising views of the otherwise very male-centric rabbis, and discuss how they do and do not apply to reproductive rights today.
