Our Tent brings together our entire congregation on Sunday mornings to learn together. Our Tent is for adults and children, young and the old and all of us in between. It’s for those who want to learn together with all age groups, and for those who want to learn with their peers. It’s for those who prefer to learn through a book or lecture, and for those who want to learn through experience and expression of their creativity. It’s for thosewho want to explore history and those who want to dream about the future.

You can help to make this happen!  There are several ways to donate to Our Tent .

WHAT 'BLACK PANTHER' CAN TEACH US ABOUT OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD

(Rabbi Vann, published on the Union for Reform Judaism website 11/12/18)


A few months into 5779, we are faced with even more uncertainty and unpredictability about our nation. To make matters worse, we isolate ourselves from one another and even within our own bubbles of agreement. We suffer from infighting and lack of compromise. Our disagreements ostracize and demonize in lieu of fostering dialogue. The vitriol, inability to work together, and “othering” of each other has driven an enormous and seemingly insurmountable wedge between us. It has brought anger, frustration and despair.

~ Rabbi Allison Vann with Chris Harrison (URJ)
