  • How a United Church Congregation Articulates Its Choices from the 41St General Council's
    “What Language Shall I Borrow?” How a United Church Congregation Articulates its Choices from the 41st General Council’s Recommendations Regarding Peacebuilding in Israel/Palestine by Donna Patricia Kerrigan A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Ministry awarded by Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto © Copyright by Donna Patricia Kerrigan 2016 “What Language Shall I Borrow?” How a United Church Congregation Articulates its Choices from the 41st General Council’s Recommendations Regarding Peacebuilding in Israel/Palestine Donna Patricia Kerrigan Doctor of Ministry Emmanuel College and the University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The thesis of this dissertation is that members of the United Church of Canada who respond to the Report on Israel/Palestine Policy select from its peacebuilding recommendations according to their attitudes to theological contextualizing. Two attitudes give rise to two different methods, which are seldom articulated but underlie choices regarding peace initiatives such as boycotting or ecumenical/multifaith cooperation. The dissertation includes five parts: an investigation of contextual theologies for peacebuilders; a history of the UCC and ecumenical partners who have struggled to assist peace in Israel/Palestine; strategies for peace-minded ministers; a case-study of one congregation choosing peace strategies; and recommendations for denominational communications and peacebuilding. This thesis poses a taxonomy for theologizing in context, moving from initial interaction with the other by translating local systems of thought into terms of the Gospel message. Contextualizers proceed either to immerse in the local culture (anthropological) or to engage with locals in mutual learning (synthesis).

  • Rabbinic Statement on the Mosque Burning in Israel
    Rabbinic Statement on the Mosque Burning in Israel כי ביתי בית תפילה יקרא לכל העמים My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples As religious leaders and representatives of Jewish houses of worship around the world, we wish to express our deep sadness and outrage at the desecration of a mosque in the Bedouin village of Tuba-Zangariya in the north of Israel. We condemn this act as an affront to G-d and to the values of our Torah. We extend a hand in friendship and solidarity to the leaders and residents of the town, a prayer for their safety and peace in the days to come, and a hope that those who perpetrated this despicable act will be brought to justice. We condemn those in Israel who exacerbate conflict and strife, and who insist that only one people or religion belongs to this land. We thank the Israeli leadership – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Shimon Peres, the Chief Rabbis of Israel and others – who have spoken out forcefully against this incident. They have demonstrated the Jewish values woven into the very fabric of the State of Israel, whose Declaration of Independence guarantees that Israel will “safeguard the sanctity and inviolability of the shrines and Holy Places of all religions”. We are grateful for the actions of the many organizations and individuals in Israel who have already raised their voices on behalf of Israel’s highest and truest values. We urge them to continue to take a public stand for the values of pluralism and mutual respect, and against violence, exclusion and racism.

  • A Canadian Interfaith Response to the Refugee Crisis
    A Canadian Interfaith Response to the Refugee Crisis Written by Jackie Kovacs for IDI GTA, February 2016 On Tuesday February 5th, the Darchei Noam congregation in partnership with the Intercultural Dialogue Institute held a panel discussion on the Canadian response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis. The master of ceremony for the evening was Debbie Michnick, from the Interfaith Dialogue Committee at Congregation Darchei Noam. Opening remarks were given by Darchei Noam’s Rabbi, Tina Grimberg, Nuray Gunel of IDI, and John Voorpostel, who is the Steering Committee Chair for the World Interfaith Harmony week in Toronto. Tina Grimberg welcomed “the human, beautiful family” to Darchei Noam, explained that they are committed to social justice, and thanked people for their contributions to the refugee effort. “You were praying with your fingers,” she said. Nuray Gunel explained that she volunteers for IDI because she believes that the only way to love one another, is to know one another. The events in the world currently highlight the importance of interfaith and intercultural work. “We must find the proper ways of learning about each other,” she said, directly from the other person. John Voorpostel gave a welcome address on behalf of the World Interfaith Harmony Week, Toronto chapter. The theme for this year is Open Hearts, Open Minds, and it was a good fit for the event, he said. Families coming here want better lives for future generations and this is the collective story of Canada. “In a real way, the strength of our neighbours and their neighbours is our strength, and their success is our success.” Panelists Doug Saunders of the Globe and Mail was the chair for the evening as well as one of the speakers.

  • Shanah Tovah... May We All Be Sealed in the Book of Life!
    Shanah Tovah... May we all be sealed in the book of life! NARAYEVER NEWS SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER 2016 AV, ELUL 5776, TISHREI 5777 NARAYEVER NEWS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friends, Our tradition teaches us that tzedakah, righteousness through giving to others, is a religious obligation. Through tzedakah we help others, but such acts can also fill our own lives with a sense of meaning and purpose. The Narayever has a very strong commitment to tzedakah, something we can all be proud of. Members give throughout the year to our many funds and also give generously of their time. jjjj ROSH HASHANAH APPEAL On Monday, October 3 we will be asking for contributions to support the Rosh Hashanah Appeal. Your donations will help the shul remain affordable for people in the community regardless of their circumstances. In addition, all synagogues face the same reality; increasing costs can only be met by the congregation's awareness of the need to make donations towards the shul's operations. This past year your donations to the Rosh Hashanah appeal helped fund a number of important shul projects including a Scholar-in-Residence program. Rabbi Jonathan Crane, our visiting scholar, drew on scriptural and rabbinic sources while discussing the concept of human dignity. Together we looked at contemporary questions and issues such as assisted death and welcoming refugees. The appeal also funded our new Tefillah (prayer) Coach and Coordinator project which will continue this year. The Narayever has a very strong commitment to using lay service leaders. Through the Tefillah project which guides existing service leaders and recruits new ones, our leaders have developed their davening skills and we have excellent new volunteers.

    * Pro Homo: A Collection of Resources and Tools For Challenging Homophobia and Transphobia in Community Organizing CREATED FOR ARTREACH TORONTO BY KIM CROSBY AND NATALYN TREMBLAY OF THE PEOPLE PROJECT G.O.A.L. YOUTH WORKSHOP SERIES WWW.ARTREACHTORONTO.CA/TOOLKITS GOAL Youth Workshop Series The Grassroots Organizing and Leadership (GOAL) Youth Capacity Building Workshop Series was developed in 2007 by youth-led organizations, funders and other partners to provide access to learning opportunities that can enhance the work of young people, artists and youth-led groups. Through different strategies and in different spaces, young people are working to make change and to have an impact on communities across the city of Toronto. To take this passion and commitment and channel it into a project, individuals or organizations often require training, tools and supports that are not always available to emerging, youth-led groups. This workshop series provides facilitators (many of whom are young people, or those that have been involved in grassroots organizing and project development) to share their insights and resources. Many groups have struggled to find financial templates that works for them, decode grant guidelines or define what structure works for them as an organization. Accordingly, past topics have included financial management for nonprofits, fundraising, grant- writing, and models of youth work. These free sessions provide an accessible and safe learning space for young people and groups to ask questions, receive support and demystify process. The workshops are developed based on needs identified by young people in Toronto. Participants who attend 5 or more workshops in the series receive a certificate.

Column after column of Russian troops march in precise lockstep, accompanied by tank and missiles. Fly-bys by warplanes remind observers that Russian military prowess extends beyond the mass of green-clad men goose-stepping through Red Square. Symbols of Soviet power—the power that crushed the Nazis in the most savage war Europe has ever seen, symbols of the victory celebrated today—adorn the streets of Moscow; some troops carry Soviet-era flags, and a handful of posters of Stalin remind the average Muscovite of the enormous victory the Soviet state facilitated. In the speech he delivers later, the solemn leader who watches the procession praises those who repelled the Nazi invasion with “resistance unparalleled in courage and strength.” “The war made us a strong nation,” he declares.
