It’s our duty as citizens of the world, and especially as Jews, to educate ourselves on the suffering of others. Tonight we’ll be joined by Omer Kanat, Executive Director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project. He has two decades of experience as a broadcast journalist, has interviewed the Dalai Lama, speaks eight languages fluently, and will donate his time and experience to us this evening. He’ll walk us through the ongoing crisis of the Uyghur Muslims, who are currently in concentration camps, undergoing horrors at an unimaginable scale. Religious freedom is central to the holiday of Chanukah, and we are inspired by the season to buckle down and learn what we can do to support those in need. The event begins with candle lighting and a brand-new Chanukah song by Jacob Spike Kraus at 7:00 p.m.
