November 8 - Strangers No More: Building Bridges to Understanding

Strangers No More was founded by women from Beth Torah and COR after the tragic murders at the JCC and Village Shalom in April 2014. The group is committed to building bridges to understanding between Christians and Jews. In these divisive times, we are pleased to have Strangers No More at Beth Torah on the eve of Kristallnacht to talk about the bridge-building work they’ve done in the Kansas City area over the past 10 years.

Please register by 10/31 if you plan stay for dinner and our program!
