Sine Dayenu 2024 Celebration!
Lawyer's Mall 100 State Cir, Annapolis, MDSine Die is Latin for “adjourning without a future day,” and Dayenu, the title of an important Passover song, means “it would have been enough” — at JUFJ, we combine the two! As we prepare to celebrate at “Sine Dayenu,” we remind ourselves that each victory that we and our partners achieve in Annapolis is a necessary but not sufficient step toward collective liberation. Our work must continue until all of us are free.
