Are you a rabbi, cantor or rabbinical/cantorial student interested in providing spiritual, emotional, and relational support to those on the front lines of today’s movements for justice? Are you looking for ways to make your own justice work more committed, resilient, sustainable, and spiritually rooted?
Join T’ruah’s Movement Chaplaincy community of practice as we move through Faith Matters Network’s Daring Compassion Movement Chaplaincy course together. This course is a 5 hour/week commitment over 12 weeks (Feb 1-April 25th) with new material released weekly. We will meet over zoom as a group several times throughout the course to learn how to root the emerging role of movement chaplain in Jewish ritual, text, history, and tradition. Come explore how rabbis and cantors can work to heal today’s activists, ourselves, and each other, as we work to heal the world.
What you get when you do this program with T’ruah:
- A community of colleagues to learn with and get support from.
- Four Zoom sessions to add a Jewish dimension to Faith Matters Network’s multi-faith approach.
- Connections to T’ruah organizing locally.
- As-needed coaching from T’ruah staff.
This project is supported by a generous grant from the Righteous Persons Foundation.
