-
Starting at the Start
Developing race consciousness - our awareness of the role race plays in our everyday lives - is an essential step to understanding the way we see and experience the world, as well as how others’ experiences differ from our own.
-
Examining our Privilege
We explore race informs our own experiences and begin unpacking our privilege - the advantages we experience based on race, including in our Jewish spaces. We start building the tools we’ll need to do the real work of being an anti-racists in our everyday lives and in our Jewish community spaces.
-
Becoming an Upstander
In order to work toward racial equality through anti-racism, we must become aware of the many facets of racial inequality created by racism in the world around us and learn how to choose to intervene.
-
Becoming Aware of our Own Lens
The systemic racism in our society didn’t develop overnight, and recognizing our part in the ‘system’ is an important component to fighting against it. During our last session, we will take a deeper dive into our own perspectives and implicit biases so that we are better able to affect change in our Jewish communities.
