We are excited to announce that T’ruah is partnering with the Inside Out Wisdom and Action Project (IOWA)! Participants will get equipped with the Jewish spiritual tools of Mussar to confront, subvert, and heal implicit and internalized racism within ourselves and others. We are offering IOWA’s special curriculum, Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out (DRIO) to chaverim who are interested in cultivating these habits to confront racism both inside and outside of Jewish communities.
If you are a clergy person who has done a fair amount of reading and intellectual discovery, but you have not figured out how exactly to take action, this cohort is for you. This is not a “basics” course, and participants should be ready to support collective organizing, advocacy, and service-work efforts to dismantle racism systemically.
We will spend eight synchronous sessions together over eight months. We will meet at 12:00 PM ET for 90 minutes on the following Tuesday dates:
- Tuesday, December 19, 2023
- Tuesday, January 9, 2024
- Tuesday, January 30, 2024
- Tuesday, February 20, 2024
- Tuesday, March 19, 2024
- Tuesday, April 16, 2024
- Tuesday, May 7, 2024
- Tuesday, May 28, 2024
Participants will be assigned to chevruta partners to meet with in-between the synchronous sessions.
To dismantle racism, we need to foster personal and communal transformation in addition to supporting systemic change. This Community of Practice will help us discover the tools necessary to ensure that Jewish communities do not replicate the very dynamics of white supremacy and racism that we are working to undo.
