Friday Night - Speaker from J Street!

For our June 29 service (7:30, back at LCHS), while Rabbi Eitan is on his Italy-Israel trip, we have a very special speaker, from J Street.  In case you do not know about J Street, it is a fairly new group, active both at the national level and in the Chicago area, that calls itself "the political home for pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans."  (For further info, see www.jstreet.org. )

The J Street speaker is Rich Goldwasser.  Rich lives in Highland Park - grew up in Northbrook and Skokie.  (So he probably grew up with someone from Shir Hadash.)  He went to U of I for his undergrad and law degrees, and later clerked for the President of Israel's Supreme Court.  He is a member of J Street's Board of Directors, and serves on the Steering Committee of J Street Chicago. 

So come to hear what J Street has to say about what's going on in Israel.  And come to support our Adult Hebrew class, which will lead the service while Eitan is away.  And - don't forget to bring something for oneg....
