ZACK BODNER
Why Do Jewish? A Manifesto for 21st Century Jewish Peoplehood
Thursday, January 19, 7:30 PM
Insisting that taking action is what matters most, Zack Bodner proposes a creative new framework for doing Jewish based on an acronym from the Yiddish word TACHLIS, which means “getting down to brass tacks.”
T – Tikkun Olam (repairing the world)
A – Art and Culture
C – Community
H – Holidays and Rituals
L – Learning
I – Israel
S – Shabbat and Spirituality
Through a combination of personal stories, insights from some of the world’s greatest teachers, and contemporary analysis, Bodner provides an accessible guide for anyone looking for answers to life’s most important questions.
Bodner is the CEO of the Oshman Family JCC and the former Pacific Northwest Regional Director for AIPAC. He’s a seeker, writer, storyteller, community organizer, and above all else, a doer.
