Jew Oughta Know –
Reflections & Directions:
Two Years After October 7
with Jason Harris
Sunday, October 26, 2025 | 1–3 PM
Temple Sinai Sanctuary | In-person & Livestreamed
We’re two years into a revolution in the Jewish experience, in which nearly everything has been put on the table: individual Jewish identity and communal ties, security and sense of belonging, political beliefs, relationship with Israel, and much else. This talk will explore how this moment is reshaping our lives, our communities, and our sense of Jewishness. Less about answers and more about questions, we’ll look at what’s changed, what’s enduring, and ways we can navigate this new pivotal era.
