Schloss Summer Lecture
The Olympics:
Watch?
Join us for our 6 PM Summer
Service and stay for dinner at 7
PM ($10 per person). Dinner will
be followed by Dr. Shelley Rigger,
Professor of East Asian Politics at
Davidson College, 7:30-8:30 PM,
the Schloss Summer Lecturer of
2008.
This summer’s Olympics in
Beijing are a hot topic of discus
sion not only for sports fans, but
for activists and political analysts
as well. Our summer Schloss
Lecture, on Friday, July 11, will
explore the human rights abuses in
China that are filling the headlines
of our papers. On this topic,
respected Rabbis Yitz Greenberg
and Haskel Lookstein recently
wrote: “It remains our view that it
would be unconscionable for Jews
to go and enjoy the Olympics and
help China gain international
respectability when it is enabling
Sudan’s genocide, oppressing
Tibet, and providing military
assistance to Iran and Syria, and
befriending Hamas.”
