This service will be hosted by Temple Sinai, with Congregation Beth Hatikvah and Congregation Ohr Shalom-SJCC, featuring choirs from all three congregations and guest speaker Dr. Betty Adams. Dr. Adams will offer a presentation titled “Doing Justice, Creating Equity: Transformative Work for This Time.” When the entire world is struggling to get its bearings, and we try to turn the page on 2020, how do we, in the words of the Reverend Dr. King, "hew out of the mountain of despair the stone of hope"? Dr. Adams is an author, retired university professor, and associate minister at Fountain Baptist Church in Summit.
