It is structured around a four -part lecture series by Dr. Hussein Ibish and Prof. David N. Myers that wa s co-presented by Fordham University’s Center for Jewish Studies\, Cente r for Religion and Culture\, Department of History\, International Studies Program\, and Middle Eastern Studies Program.\n\nEach time\, we will watc h about half of the lecture\, preceding it with a recommitment to our inte ntions and principles\, and following it with a discussion. You are free t o attend only some sessions\, but as always\, the more consistently you pa rticipate\, the more we all gain from the shared conversation. If you anti cipate missing a week\, it is strongly recommended that you watch that por tion of the video on your own so that you are caught up when you return.\n This is emphatically not for UUCPA folks only. Anyone with a sincere commi tment to an outcome that respects people’s inherent worth and dignity\, and that creates peace\, liberty\, and justice for all\, is welcome to joi n us.\n\nSee this post for links to the video for each session.\n\nSession 1:  Friday\, April 26\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nSession 2:  F riday\, May 3\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nNO SESSION MAY 10\nSessi on 3: Friday\, May 17\, 2:30 pm\, Zoom\nSession 4: Friday\, May 24\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nSession 5: Friday\, May 31\, 2:30 pm\, Firesi de Room and Zoom\nSession 6: Friday\, June 7\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nSession 7: Friday\, June 14\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nSes sion 8: Friday\, June 21\, 2:30 pm\, Fireside Room and Zoom\nThe first thr ee lectures (our first six sessions) were delivered at Fordham in 2017-201 8.
