High Holidays 5779 with Kadima: Torah of Intersectionality
For 40 years, Kadima has seen itself as interconnected and working toward collective liberation. Celebrating our 40th year, we bring this idea to the forefront during High Holidays. Join us, whether you are new or old to our 40 years of work, to hear from members of various generations of Kadima and various, interconnected fights for justice.
