Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out is a course and community of practice that equips participants with daily concrete Jewish spiritual tools of Mussar to confront, subvert, and heal implicit and internalized racism within ourselves and others, supporting the collective organizing, advocacy and service-work efforts to dismantle racism systemically. This course is for you if you are a member or leader of a Jewish community or group that cares about racial justice and is interested in integrating Jewish spiritual practice as foundational support to your efforts.
TUITION: $10/member, $15/non-member
