American Scripture Project

Wednesday, December. 11, 2024    |     6:00 p.m.

The American Scripture Project is a series of six discussion programs which grew out of the Aspen Institute’s Rebuilding Democracy Project through the Northern Virginia Hebrew Congregation. The project grew out of concern about the growing polarization in communities across the country.

According to the American Scriptures website, "We believe that the exploration of American scriptures - various texts written throughout our nation’s history to express great ideas - will reteach us (1) how to talk with each other in a way that fosters the democratic values of dignity, respect, courage, openness, compassion, and justice, and (2) how to wrestle with, understand, question, strengthen, and/or rewrite our national narratives."

In Berks County, the project was initially launched at Temple Oheb Shalom in Wyomissing under the leadership of Rabbi Brian Michelson.

The Declaration of Independence will be the subject of November's program.
