The Amplifying Voices series, an in-depth opportunity to explore the intersectional relationship between the Black and Jewish communities, will continue with Tamar Manasseh, an African American rabbinical student who is leading the fight against senseless killings on the south side of Chicago. Manasseh will be in discussion with Todd Rockoff, Tucson Jewish Community Center president and CEO, on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 4 p.m. via Zoom webinar. A ticket to this program includes a link to view the film “They Ain’t Ready for Me” in advance of the Sunday session. The documentary showcases Manasseh’s story. The film viewing window will open at 1 p.m. on Nov. 4, and be available through 1 p.m. on Nov. 6.
