Tikkun Ha-Nefesh (Repair of the Soul)
Healing Racism, Unpacking White
Privilege
For healing, for intersectionality, for time together: Please join us! This group will meet for 2 hours/month for a year
beginning November 11th
and then the 3rd Sunday of every month after that. The group is part of the community’s larger project of addressing racism and de-centering whiteness within and beyond our congregation.
As a framework we will use the three-fold path from the Ba'al Shem Tov's teaching on healing and being present to grief and trauma. The group is facilitated by
Rabbi Shifrah Tobacman and Chaplain Laura Fitch
