The Racial Justice Initiative is proud to share the next phase of our Racial Justice work. Last year, we embarked on a partnership with Deitra Reiser, Ph.D., Founder of Transform for Equality. Members of our first cohort of her program, Building Racial Stamina in the Jewish Community, addressed our congregation at a special Racial Justice Shabbat last month. Now, members of our congregation will lead the next cohort in this important work, and we want you to join us! This eight-week series of facilitated workshops aims to dismantle racism by building racial stamina, defined as the resolve to “engage and persist in conversations and work that furthers racial justice – especially when the work causes discomfort.” 

The next series of workshops will take place on Thursdays from 7 - 8:30 p.m. on the following dates: 

• January 12 
• January 19
• January 26
• February 2 
• February 9 
• February 16
• February 23 
• March 2
