Tamar Manasseh is an African American rabbi and activist from the south side of Chicago who wants to bridge the gap between African Americans and American Jews. The 2016 Chicagoan of the Year, Manasseh created Mothers and Men Against Senseless Killings (MASK,) a coalition that attracts Black and Jewish volunteers to help nourish and sustain at-risk communities. Rabbi on the Block profiles this transformative and visionary leader and her new style of activist Judaism that takes the faith out of the synagogue and into the streets.
Followed by a live in-person conversation with Director Brad Rothschild and film subject Rabbi Tamar Manasseh, moderated by Maria Isabel Rosario, Social Justice Educator at The Rashi School.
Tickets available at the door one hour before the screening.
