Back in the 1960s, Jews were some of the most active allies of Black civil rights activists. The Rekindle Fellowship is working on rebuilding that relationship, to bridge divides between communities and work to uplift the entire community into greater justice and equity.  To do so, the group brings together mid-career leaders from the Black and Jewish communities in Cleveland together t have conversatons and listen to each other.

Rekindle founders Charmaine Rice and Matt Fieldman, as well as former Rekindle fellows, will be joining the Maltz Museum for a conversation called “Beyond Heschel and King: Rekindling Black and Jewish Community Relationships.” In it they’ll explore how to encourage dialogue and build collaborations in Cleveland.

It’s $10 general admission, $5 for members. Go here to register.
