Defining Justice: Do We Want Equity, Equality, or Revolution?
Episode 1004
Wednesday, 18 February, 2026
A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Sarah Mulhern About The Event: When we say we want to work for justice, what do we actually mean? In this class, we will dive into the question of whether a truly just outcome is about equity, equality, or is revolutionary in nature, and try to understand what the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to changemaking are. Through discussion and the study of rabbinic texts that advocate for each of these approaches in relation to economic justice, we will explore how each of us can best focus our work to change the world in our areas of passion. *Source Sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ASFEXkmGB5dWVF50i9g0OFZxdGwC7zXH/view?usp=sharingAbout The Speaker: Rav Sarah Mulhern is a Rabbi, educator, and community builder.
