Ari Roth, founding artistic director of the award-winning Mosaic Theater Company of Washington, D.C., will headline the 3rd Annual Rabbi Jack Moline Lecture at the Agudas Achim Synagogue on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 4 p.m.
Roth’s presentation, titled “Mosaic: On the Seam of a New Civil Rights and Jewish Social Justice Alliance,” is free and open to the public.
The Mosaic Theater, now in its third season, is an independent, intercultural, socially relevant, uncensored art company. This year Mosaic received the Helen Hays award for Outstanding Emerging Theater Company.
Prior to founding Mosaic, Roth is credited with building Theater J into the largest, most respected Jewish Theater in North America. In 2010, Roth was also named as one of the Forward 50, honoring 50 nationally prominent “men and women who are leading the American Jewish community into the 21st century.”
The Moline Lecture Series is named after Rabbi Jack Moline who was Congregational Rabbi at Agudas for 27 years. It presents speakers who represent the significant contributions of Jews to American Society.
Agudas Achim Congregation is located at 2908 Valley Drive.
