⚖️ Spotlight: Spill the Honey
“Through education and the transformative power of the arts, Spill the Honey Foundation amplifies the historic and contemporary voices of the Black-Jewish alliance to foster empathy for action and to unite communities in our mission for social change. Through unprecedented access to Dr. Clarence Jones, and other historical archival materials, Spill The Honey Foundation provides a forum to celebrate and educate on the historic Black-Jewish Alliance of the Civil Rights Movement, to create space for an open dialogue, and to enact a call to action to build a multigenerational cultural offensive against hate.”

️ Next SAC Meeting:
Please join us on Sunday, February 23, at 1 p.m. RST for our next Social Action Committee meeting. For more information, contact  socialaction@rodefsholomtemple.org
