Our own Rebecca Levitan, SSCPL vice president, was one of the speakers. Rebecca did a remarkable and empowering job of laying out our issues as Jews in the library world. A link to the program is below. I encourage you to listen to all of these speakers, but most importantly, take a few minutes to listen to Rebecca and Kelvin Watson speak. They both delivered heartfelt, experiential messages. Thanks, Kathy B.
