August 9, 2006
House Meeting of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom Please join us for at 7:30 PM for a meeting at the home of Susan Thal to discuss the dilemma we find ourselves in, as Brit Tzedek members, in this terrible time. We invite anyone who wants to join us to discuss what we can do as Jews who are seeking a voice for peace. Brit Tzedek shares the concern of the larger Jewish American community for Israel's safety and security, and believes that U.S. action to rapidly broker a cease-fire is crucial for the well-being of all civilian populations in the region that are affected by the current crisis.
Before the meeting it could be useful for people to go the Brit Tzedek resources page and read over some of the materials we have posted there. Please RSVP to Carinne Luck and for more information or directions, please email Barbra Apfelbaum.

The New Jersey Chapter of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom had an annual chapter meeting to kick-off the New Year! Come meet new people and catch up with old friends.
We are very fortunate that Carinne Luck, Brit Tzedek's National Chapter coordinator, is based in NYC. She'll be joining us to help get our chapter off to a great start this year. Come hear about how we, as American Jews, can work together to promote a negotiated settlement to end the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
