Building Racial Stamina Guided Discussion Group
Mondays, 7:00-8:30p beginning 2/1 or
Tuesdays, 2:00-3:30p beginning 2/2
Talking about race is both difficult and necessary in our Jewish community and in society. This 6-week facilitated discussion group will provide space to develop what author Robin DiAngelo calls “racial stamina,” the ability to think and talk about race effectively. Over six sessions, the group will help each person explore their own racial identity, increase awareness of the impact of race and better understand how to affirm and embrace all people at Temple Sinai.
We ask that participants are able to attend each session. Please purchase a copy of White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo prior to the first session.
