This Friday: A conversation that matters.
Join for Shabbat Alive with Ben Ginsburg from : A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change.

Since 2006, NewGround has been doing the hard work of building bridges between communities—and Ben will share how they're navigating today's most challenging conversations with courage and compassion.

This evening launches our journey toward sacred dialogue. On Sept 12, we'll dive deeper with hands-on training in these essential skills at our Community Conversation Shabbat. Because even when the world feels divided, meaningful connection is still possible.

Come ready to:
• Be inspired by stories of partnership
• Learn practical tools for difficult conversations
• Connect with your community in new ways
• Discover how change happens, one dialogue at a time

Join Us on Friday, August 29
6PM Pre-Oneg • 7PM Service & Talk
Only at University Synagogue

This isn't just another talk—it's an invitation to be part of something transformative!
