We are thrilled that Audrey Sasson, Executive Director of Jews for Racial & Economic Justice (JFREJ), will be our featured speaker on Yom Kippur morning.

Audrey is a longtime organizer and a leading voice in New York’s Jewish social justice community. For nearly 30 years, she has worked at the intersection of Jewish life and social change — as a community organizer and campaign leader on issues including immigrant and workers’ rights, disability rights, housing, racial justice, antisemitism, and Israel/Palestine. As the first Mizrahi leader to serve as JFREJ’s Executive Director, Audrey has led the organization since 2017, helping build a grassroots Jewish community of more than 6,000 members working across New York City for a more just and caring city.

In recent years, Audrey has made JFREJ an influential player in electoral politics through the creation of its sister organization, The Jewish Vote, which has played an important role in successful campaigns for many of New York’s progressive elected representatives. She also led the organization throughout the war in Gaza in its continual protests calling for a ceasefire and an end to the bombing of civilians.

Audrey, a member of The New Shul community, is unabashedly Jewish, proudly progressive, and is one of the clearest voices in our city for a universalist, humane, and caring Judaism that we can be proud of. At a time when many of us are confounded by the rising tides of authoritarianism and antisemitism in this country, and a Jewish State that seems to have abandoned morality, Audrey is one of the few local voices that has not lost sight of who she is and who we are as Jews.

A guiding principle for both Audrey and JFREJ is the Yiddish concept of Doykeit, or Here-ness. This Yom Kippur, as we focus on our local issues and partnerships, Audrey’s presence feels especially meaningful.

Through our theme this year of Eyn Od - This is It, we will be exploring the true nature of our reality and our lives. We will ask: how can we both accept our lives and continue to do the work toward changing them at the same time? We couldn’t think of anyone better suited to both challenge us and guide us as we ponder what it truly means to be a Jewish person in New York City today.

We hope you’ll join us for this very special Yom Kippur morning — and for the opportunity to hear from Audrey.

New York Times columnist and New Shul member Michelle Goldberg has emerged as a leading expert on the current landscape of antisemitism. She has written extensively about the manipulation of antisemitism, its relationship with Zionism and anti Zionism and which forms Jewish scapegoating is taking these days. This year at the Kumah Festival Michelle joins us for a conversation to unpack how anti Jewish hatred has shifted in the US over the last few years, what it looks like today on the right and the left and where it seems to be heading. Join us for an evening of music, prayer and intellectual inquiry.
