CBI's Pride Shabbat

featuring Peter Savastano, "The Overqualified Jew" 

Saturday, June 3, 2023 // 9:30 am // CBI

We are thrilled to introduce Peter Savastano, PhD., a Professor of
Anthropology at Seton Hall University, and a member of the Department of
Social Work, Criminal Justice and Religion, as our Pride Shabbat Speaker. Dr
Savastano is a member of the LGBTQ+ community who recently converted to
Judaism (curious to know why?). One Rabbi at his conversion Bet Din remarked
that he is "overqualified to be Jewish". He teaches courses in Anthropology
and Religious studies, and is excited to share his personal and scholarly
observations and perspectives with the CBI community. 

Dr Savastano supports Circle of Friends, which provides scholarship money
for transgendered youth in Newark. Circle of Friends-NPA, c/o Dean James
Credle, 51 Clifton Avenue, Apt. C-2101, Newark, NJ 07104.

CBI Alliance for Sustainability

In response to the increasing challenges facing the environment, it's time
for CBI to do its part to preserve and protect the natural world. We'll be
focusing on environmental sustainability through a Jewish lens, exploring
how essential Jewish teachings can inform our pursuit of a healthy and just
world. We hope to involve all members of the CBI community from preschoolers
to seniors. We'll be evaluating what we can do as a community and as
individuals to integrate a commitment to sustainability into our lives, in
order to be true partners in the ongoing work of Tikkun Olam. We invite you
to be part of it!
