1529 Sixteenth Street, NW, Washington, DC
JCRC invites you to join them for an evening of learning, reflecting, and conversation as we watch episode three of Henry Louis Gates, Jr.’s documentary series Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History. This powerful series traces the complex relationship between Black and Jewish Americans — a history shaped by both solidarity and tension — while exploring the challenges and enduring promise of that connection.
Following the screening, hear from a panel of Jews of Color from the DMV region, including Rabbi Shais Rishon and Chess Jakobs, as they reflect on the series and discuss how it addresses and represents the experiences of Black Jews in the United States. Panelists will also explore the importance of strengthening interfaith partnerships in this moment and discuss the role community members can play in supporting local Jewish organizations of color already engaged in interfaith solidarity work.
