“I imagine Lent for you and for me as a great departure from the greedy, anxious anti-neighborliness of our economy, a great departure from our exclusionary politics that fears the other, a great departure from self-indulgent consumerism that devours creation. And then an arrival in a new neighborhood, because it is a gift to be simple, it is a gift to be free; it is a gift to come down where we ought to be.” 
- Walter Brueggemann

Thank you to everyone who participated in the memorial Mass for Joe Mueller, SJ on Saturday, February 25. It was a beautiful service and wonderful to have our JST community come together to give thanks and celebrate Joe's life.

For those who were unable to attend, the Mass recording is available at this link.

Center for Jewish Studies Annual Conference | Worlds of Corporeality

March 8, 2023 | Dinner Boardroom, GTU Library

The GTU's Richard S. Dinner Center for Jewish Studies invites you to its annual Jewish studies symposium, this year titled "Worlds of Corporeality." Local scholars will share current work that engages with issues such as embodiment, materiality, care, gender, space, language, sexuality and ritual performance. The topic of corporeality is at once capacious enough to tap into ongoing research projects while also being specific enough to stimulate new thinking and fruitful discussion.

The conference will take place Wednesday, March 8 from 9am-5pm (PT) in the GTU Dinner Boardroom discussion. Visit the event page for more info. No registration is necessary and the event is free and open to the public.
