This program will be valuable to everyone who is interested and invested in the Bay Area's Jewish future. Fifteen short presentations will provide a glimpse of the future of our diverse and changing Bay Area Jewish community.

Voices of our Community:

• Shayna Gelender: I am a secular Reform Jew who just turned 30. How do I live my Judaism to advance social justice in my community?

• Patricia Hellman Gibbs: My family came here in the 1850s. What do I do now with this legacy?

• Zelig Golden: I was an environmental lawyer, and now I co-lead Wilderness Torah. How can we revitalize Jewish life by reconnecting Jewish traditions to the cycles of nature?
