Temple Beth El to Host Black-Jewish Forum Launch

Temple Beth El is pleased to be a part of launching The Black-Jewish Forum, designed to help develop and enhance relationships among members of the African American and Jewish communities. The inaugural event, slated to be presented October 26 at 7 pm at Temple Beth El is titled "The State of the Black/Jewish Socioeconomic Alliance in Detroit".

"The Black-Jewish forum, a project of the Faith and Politics Forum, is intended to bring two of Southeastern Michigan’s most significant communities, African-Americans and Jews, closer together to collaborate on socioeconomic initiatives for the betterment of metropolitan Detroit," said Bankole Thompson, senior editor of the Michigan Chronicle.

"Given its congregational history of social justice and community leadership, Temple Beth El is the ideal place to launch this initiative", said Arthur Horwitz, published and executive editor of the Jewish News.

Among the panel participants October 26 will be Rabbi Daniel Syme.

There is no charge for the event, but reservations are required. To RSVP, please email Bankole Thompson at faithandpolitics@globalmarkmakers.com
