Adult Civil Rights Journey

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Join Rabbi Mosbacher and Cantor Kipnis on an Adult Civil Rights Journey, October 23 - 26, 2025. We'll travel together with Etgar 36 to Atlanta, Georgia and Montgomery and Selma and Birmingham, Alabama to visit sights and hear stories of the struggle for civil rights in the south.

Our Civil Rights journey uses the history, sites, and current issues as a springboard to highlight the relationship, and at times, the tension, of the Jewish and American identity. The journeys are a mix of fun, sightseeing, education, and meetings with organizations and people who have been and are still involved in creating America.

Participants will learn about the struggles of African Americans to gain equality in the 1950s & 60s as well as discover how Jews were involved in the Civil Rights struggle. Participants will walk away understanding why Jews, as people who have known oppression, must care and act when others are oppressed.

Visits include the Equal Justice Initiative Legacy Museum and Memorial to the victims of lynching, Freedom Park, the site where Leo Frank was lynched, the Rosa Parks Museum, the Martin Luther King Center/Auburn Ave. district, Ebenezer Baptist Church, walking across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, and the 16th Street Baptist Church.
