Do you care about the scourge of human trafficking? Want to learn more about what you and your community can do to combat trafficking and child labor? Then please watch the recording of this insightful and informative webinar, during which we explain the issue and walk you through a number of NEW resources available for free to RA members, including two double-sided handouts: ENDING SLAVERY!: Understanding Human Trafficking - and What You Can Do About It and ENDING SLAVERY!: Jewish Sources and Resources On Human Trafficking as well as No More Slaves! A Sourcebook and Programming Guide written by our colleague Debra Orenstein.
On the webinar, you will also be introduced to three experts in the field who will inform you about their work and make themselves available, free, to RA members as consultants on designing a program or curriculum or as guest speakers (with reimbursement of travel costs). All three experts happen to have strong Jewish backgrounds. You will also learn about a host of tools for sermons, adult education, Hebrew School and Day School curriculum, holiday materials, and more.
Please join us as we ramp up our efforts to catalyze the Conservative/Masorti Movement to take bold action for Pesah 2020/5780.
