Attention New York Kossacks!
This Saturday evening, March 18th, Senator Russ Feingold will be among the honorees at a very special event in Brooklyn. LOUD & CLEAR is the annual gala of Kolot Chayeinu, a progressive Jewish congregation in Park Slope. For progressive Brooklynites and other New Yorkers, this is your best chance to meet Senator Feingold, hear him speak, and thank him for fighting our good fights.
Also being honored at the event is Steve Banks (Attorney in Chief of the Legal Aid Society and long-time advocate for New York's homeless), along with two congregation members, Trisha Arlin and Andrea Bernstein (WNYC's intrepid political reporter). Former Congresswoman, attorney and activist LIZ HOLTZMAN and Village Voice editor WAYNE BARRETT will also make special presentations at the event.
Kolot Chayeinu/Voices of our Lives is a Jewish congregation in Brooklyn, where doubt can be an act of faith and all hands are needed to build our community. We are creative, serious seekers who pray joyfully, wrestle with tradition, pursue justice and refuse to be satisfied with the world as it is. As individuals of varying sexual orientations, races, family arrangements, and Jewish identities and backgrounds, we share a commitment to the search for meaningful expressions of our Judaism in today's uncertain world.
