Come learn with Kohenet Shoshana Brown and Yehudah Webster as we unlearn and deconstruct how racism has affected our relationship with HaShem. Move with us closer to HaShem and liberation. This three-week course will offer theory and practical tools to begin undoing the ways in which racism has harmed us all, heal together, and take collective action. Thanks to an Ignition grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle for making the creation of this course possible and providing it free to the community.
