Recent events have brought systemic racism to the forefront of our collective consciousness. B’nai Moshe is stepping up to advocate for and take action toward building a more just system. In doing so B’nai Moshe has created an ongoing opportunity for education and dialogue in our community on how to effectively contribute to lasting impactful and meaningful change.

This program called “Avodat Tzedek – Work of Justice” is an information exchange, discussion group and will be led by a mental health professional and a community organizer to ensure a safe and respectful environment. We will discuss systemic racism (versus other forms of racism); implicit bias; Black and Jewish - ways to be more inclusive, inclusive and acknowledging; oppression as it relates to Jewish history and values, and many more subjects. We will look for concrete actions to end racism. It’s not enough to just not be racist. We need to be actively anti-racist.

We meet every other Monday evening and due to Yom Kippur our next gathering will be Monday, October 5 at 7:30 pm.
