SUMMARY:Women's Alliance Program: Rev Marta Interviews Shira Hoffer
DESCRIPTION:A Hotline for Israel/Palestine: Rev. Marta Morris Flanagan interviews Shira Hoffer \nSeptember 15\, 2024 – after service\, 12:00 noon\, in the sanctuary and on Zoom \nJoin The Alliance for the first program of its inspirational and thought-provoking new season. This promises to be an engaging conversation between Rev. Marta and Shira Hoffer\, a remarkable Harvard undergraduate who in response to the horrific Hamas attack on Israel\, October 7\, 2023\, founded the Hotline for Israel/Palestine. This text-based hotline provides her fellow students and others a place where they can safely pose difficult questions without being labeled antisemitic or Islamophobic. The text-based hotline provides well-researched and curated resources about the historical\, cultural\, political\, and religious viewpoints underlying the long conflict between these two countries and their inhabitants. \nIn 2024 Shira expanded her outreach by founding the Institute for Multipartisan Education\, a charitable organization dedicated to “increasing and improving [the] capacity for curious approaches to difference and disagreement in educational settings.” \nJoin this event in-person in the Sanctuary or join on Zoom. \nLearn more about the Alliance by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Art Show Opening Reception: September 22
DESCRIPTION:PASSAGES: Paintings by Marilyn Downs \nThe First Parish Art Team is hosting a show of paintings by Marilyn Downs from September 22 – November 15\, 2024 in the parlor. Her oil paintings are primarily landscapes\, drawn from places where she has spent time and felt inspired by what she saw or felt. She chose the theme “passages” to reflect both the tangible and metaphorical experiences that can be found in nature: paths\, gorges\, mountains or water that can symbolize movement\, flow\, transition\, journey or transformation. \n  \nThe opening will be Sunday September 22\, 11:45 – 2pm in the parlor. Refreshments will be served. An artist talk will be scheduled in late October\, date TBA.
