Anti-Racism Book Group
Monday Nights in August
7pm - 8:30pm

Thank you to our Social Action Committees' ongoing response and plans to engage issue of racism and privilege in the wake of the death of George Floyd and others.   

Acknowledging that we have implicit prejudice does not make us bad.  Prejudice is an ideology that is taught to us, from the time we are born. Learning about it and mitigating it makes us stronger and clearer.  Are you interested in better understanding the challenges you face when discussing race and racism?  

The Social Action Committee is offering an Anti-Racism Book Group so we can study and learn together in an open, accepting environment.

Our first book will be "White Fragility", by Robin Diangelo, as this is where many of us hit barriers in the discussion of racism. We are aware that as Jews, many of us have difficulty with the label of "white". We will be able to discuss this as well.
A Taste of Judaism 3 week Course
