We will be concluding our Racial Justice Book and Film Series with an exploration of traditional and modern Jewish texts. Over some delicious food and drinks, let’s discuss how these texts both challenge and guide us as a Jewish community to engage in racial justice. After the discussion, we will celebrate Havdalah, using this Jewish ritual to transition both from Shabbat to the rest of the week and from this series to our next steps as a community.

What is Jewish about community organizing? What is power and how can I use it? What does it mean to create public relationships? Active JCUA members can attend this training to learn organizing concepts and Jewish learning critical to our work.
