Register today for our Kirkalnd symposium on antisemitism.
Kirkland Together: Recognizing Antisemitism is a project of Kol Ami, Kirkland's only progressive synagogue. We are looking to bring together citizens, clergy, and civic, business, and educational leaders to invest in our community. The ADL, a co-sponsor of this event, reports that incidents of anti-Jewish bias aimed at gathering places like synagogues and Jewish community centers rose 61% during 2022, while children in school grades K-12 reported a 106% increase this past year. In this workshop, we will work together to create a shared understanding of antisemitism with the goal of building an increasingly vibrant and inclusive Kirkland.
Please reply to this email with your logo and contact person for your organization. For any questions, please contact Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg or Linda Bookey, Co-President. Thank you.
