This past year, Strangers No More programs were held virtually and included such topics as symbols of Judaism and Christianity and intermarriage, and a series studying “The Sermon on the Mount: A Beginners Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven,” by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine.
The group will be on hiatus during July and August. Programming will resume on September 3 with the dedication of a bench and trees in memory of Nancy Brown, one of the group’s founders. The bench is located in Gezer Park, 133rd Street and Mission Road. Further information will be sent to members and the general community once details are finalized.
On October 4, members are invited to attend a special presentation, “75 Years After Auschwitz: Antisemitism in America” presented by Holly Huffnagle, U.S. director for combating antisemitism for the American Jewish Committee (AJC). There is no charge to attend this special program, but tickets are required and are available online at unionstation.org/event/auschwitz/holly-huffnagle/.
Fall and spring Coffee & Conversation programs will be held twice a month on one Monday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and one Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There are no membership dues, and all programs are presented free of charge.
