This will be an antiracist learning space for educators who identify as Jewish and want a place to think more deeply about racism, Whiteness, DEI, Israel-Palestine, and identity, all in relation to being Jewish here and now. Jews of all racial backgrounds and practices are welcome. This is not a teaching space, but a facilitated space for affinity, connection, collective learning, and exploration. We will bring in readings that support the conversations that people want to have.
The facilitator (Ali Michael) will organize and lead the space, but the content will come from our collective inquiries. We may not all reach the same conclusions. Please join if you are interested in asking questions and seeking answers in community. If you are interested in convincing others of your worldview, this is not the space for you. Ali identifies as a White Reconstructionist Jew by choice who lived in Jerusalem for six months, while interning with Palestinian Sesame Street in Ramallah, the West Bank.
