5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
P’nai Or, Jewish Renewal Congregation, will be joining the USG Black Lives Matter Vigil on September 30 between the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. These holidays begin the Jewish New Year 5786. At this time, we look inside ourselves to see where we have ‘missed the mark’ in our relationships with all beings and with the earth during the past year, asking forgiveness and committing to change. We hear the exhortation of the prophet Isaiah:
Unlock the shackles put on by wicked power!
Untie the ropes of the yoke!
Let the oppressed go free,
And break off every yoke!
Last year the sound of the shofar (ram’s horn) joined with the honking horns on Lincoln Drive exclaiming Black Lives Matter! So, again, this year we come together.
All are invited to join these peaceful, family-friendly events. Pets are welcome! We have signs you can use or bring your own. The vigil takes place in front of the USG church at 6511 Lincoln Drive, Phila PA 19119. Parking is available behind the church, and can be accessed from Johnson St, between Greene St and Wayne Ave (GPS address: 359 W. Johnson St). Some limited parking is also available off Lincoln Drive.
More details are in the Facebook event links below. And please check these pages in case of inclement weather.
