Shalom BHS Community,
We invite you to an evening panel with Rabbi Diana Fersko on Thursday, February 8th from 7:00-8:30pm in the BHS Sanctuary about how to combat and talk about Antisemitism.
Rabbi Fersko was a Rabbinic Intern at BHS from 2009-2011 and is now the Senior Rabbi at The Village Temple in downtown Manhattan. Before joining The Village Temple, Rabbi Fersko served at New York City’s Stephen Wise Free Synagogue for seven years as Associate Rabbi. She is the former National Vice President of the Women’s Rabbinic Network, representing over 700 female identified Rabbis across North America. Rabbi Fersko participated in the inaugural cohort of Shalom Hartman Institute’s Created Equal Fellowship. She received her rabbinic ordination from Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, where she also earned a master’s degree in Hebrew literature. She is a member of the CCAR and serves on the New York Board of Rabbis. A prolific writer, Rabbi Fersko has been profiled in The New Yorker and quoted in The New York Times. Her first book, We Need to Talk about Antisemitism, will be for sale at the event.
