Building off the Shavuot tradition of Torah study, the Tennessee chapter of Never Again hosted a text study that included both traditional and secular texts related to immigration. Never Again is a national, Jewish-led organization that mobilizes around immigration justice and works to dismantle the deportation system. Never Again Tennessee has been active for over two years and has worked both at the national and local levels to address immigrant rights.

Hello friends. I hope you all are enjoying the start of summer and looking forward to the longer days and hopefully, a vacation. As of this writing, I am preparing to attend my first in-person American Jewish Press Association conference, to be held in Atlanta. Fingers crossed my flights remain on schedule!
Sunday, May 1st, was a wild, wild night at West End Synagogue. Over 180 folks pulled out their finest cowboy hats and pulled on their best cowboy boots for a fantastic night filled with casino games, silent auction, and mouthwatering grub! There were fabulous deals on the more than 75 silent auction items, Winner’s Circle opportunities, smoked BBQ, and of course delicious dishes from Goldie Shepard.
