Racial Justice Learning Collaborative

In recent weeks and months, a nationwide conversation about systemic racism and inequity has emerged. The recent deaths of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and too many others have been a brutal reminder of our country’s long history of racist practices, systems, and institutions.

As our country engages in this conversation, it is time for our synagogue community to engage in it as well. It is important that we understand both our country’s history of systemic racism, and how we can become more accepting and welcoming within our Jewish community. 

To do this, TI will be convening a learning collaborative on racial justice and affirming Black lives. This collaborative will come together to read key texts, view documentaries/webinars, share resources and actions, and learn together about what we can do to advance the work of racial justice. 

Our first event will be a screening of the recent ADL webinar on Multicultural Responses to Hate, featuring Jews of Color who are on the front lines of racial justice work in the Jewish community and beyond. See below for the upcoming schedule of events. 

Additionally, we will create a space for sharing other articles, resources, and local actions. The conversations will not always be easy, but we are committed to learning and facing these issues together, as a shul community.
