JABA (Jews as Black Allies) is holding its first program on Thursday, May 28th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at Nevei Kodesh, 1925 Glenwood Drive.  Our goal is to use this first program as a means of providing basic and intense education on the Black Lives Matter Movement and police brutality, with a focus on our panelists’ individual experiences, and in the context of Michelle Alexander’s “The New Jim Crow.”
