Weekly Newsletters and Special Announcements

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Museum of Tolerance, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, OC Human Relations Council, CSUF and the OC Interfaith Network, I am honored to invite you to join me and my co-chairs for a very special program:
Communities Stopping Hate: Awareness and Action. 
This breakfast forum event on Wednesday, March 8th, from 8:00 to 10:00 AM is being hosted at Congregation Shir Hama'alot in Irvine. The event is free, but RSVP's are required.

In the spirit of Purim (March 7) and Shushan Purim (March 8), we will be bringing together community members from various sectors to focus on the topic of baseless hatred. 

Our speaker, Jeff Schoep, is a former neo-Nazi who was able to break away from the world of extremism and is now dedicating his life to helping other radicalized people do the same through his work with  Beyond Barriers and its partner organizations. He will share his personal story and deep committment to eradicating extremism. 

In addition to a strong showing from the Jewish community, we would love to have robust representation from education, business, government, and faith-based organizations. Please invite others to join us and share the attached flyer - right click to download.

Seating and food are limited, so registration will be on a first-come-first-served basis. Please register this week to secure your spot and encourage others to do the same.
RSVP HERE.

Congregation Shir-Ha-Ma’alot is located at 3652 Michelson Dr. in Irvine. Overflow parking will be available next door at 3400 Michelson Drive. Please plan to arrive early - check-in begins at 7:30 AM. We look forward to your engagement and participation.

Sincerely, 

Rabbi Marcia Tilchin
