100 Jewish Men: An Evening with Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz
Rabbi Nolan Lebovitz joins us for a conversation on his book, "The Case for Dual Loyalty." The book challenges the oldest taboo in American Jewish life. Rabbi Lebovitz argues that proudly declaring Jewish loyalty forges a new path forward imbued with pride of peoplehood and collective destiny. What he calls "dual loyalty" is not just about supporting Israel - it's about loyalty to Jewish peoplehood as a foundational principle of our identity no less than our loyalty to America.

Purchase juice boxes (must be 100% juice) to be sent directly to Kids’ Meals Houston. Visit the Juice Box Challenge website and an additional 5% of the retail value will go back to Kids’ Meals Houston! Each weekday, Kids Meals’ Houston delivers healthy meals to Houston’s hungriest preschool-aged children. When school is out, every child up to age 18 in these homes also receives a healthy meal from Kids’ Meals – that’s over 14,000 meals per day. Our goal is to provide 2,000 juice boxes! We have met our goal the last 4 years! Help us get there again! The Juice Box Challenge goes through June 30th.MORE INFO
