From the Back of the Bus to the Top of the Agenda with Anat Hoffman

In recent years, Israel has been dealing with demands for more modesty in the public sphere and adjusting religious standards. This has resulted in incidents of gender discrimination such as segregation between men and women on public transportation and the discrimination of girls wishing to have a Bat Mitzvah at the Western Wall. This webinar presents an overview of landmark victories over gender segregation and exclusion and will look at current challenges in this delicate area. Grab a cup of coffee and join us on Zoom, Anat will join us from Israel. See the Temple website (www.templeisraelottawa.ca) to register. Registration deadline is noon Friday December 3.
