What Does Social Justice Activism Mean to Us?

Lunch at Ramen Nagomi

The IL Peretz Secular Jewish Community’s Teen Group is planning several gatherings his fall. Meet at / Drop off your kids at 11:00 am at Rutgers Prep, where teens will participate in a discussion, led by peer educators from the Workmen’s Circle, around social justice activism. Questions to be explored will include:

• What is social justice activism?  Why is it Jewish?
• Am I a Jewish social justice activist?
• How do I live by my values?

The goal of this program is to enable our teens to articulate the unique opportunities they have to make the world a more beautiful and better place, and to help them understand their place in the world and begin to consider how they might be/become a Jewish social justice advocate.

We have recruited some parents who will take any kids without cars to lunch at Ramen Nagomi (49 Bayard Street, New Brunswick), where the noodle-icious lunch options will be explained by the Japanese-American Pestka family.  Lunch should end at about 2:30, at which time you can pick up your kids at the restaurant.

Please RSVP as soon as possible to allow us to make the appropriate number of lunch reservations.
