As a part of Nahalat Shalom's broader initiative to deepen our social justice mission, we are bringing in Amelia Paradise & The Jewish Bridge Project of New Mexico to support us in expanding our anti-racism work. We will be running the Jewish Justice Circle: Awakening to Whiteness, an 8-week workshop course this Fall.

Using the Jewish values of "Tikkun Olam, Repairing The World," and deep reflective inquiry, this project aspires to build a bridge to transformational anti-racist engagement. The Jewish Bridge Project of New Mexico offers this Jewish Justice Circle: Awakening to Whiteness as a guided process for white Jewish people in exploring whiteness and privilege in the US today. The course facilitates a practice of undoing racism at personal, institutional, and structural levels. The curriculum focuses on teaching historical context, honoring personal (ancestral, somatic, emotional, spiritual) experience, defining common terms within the Jewish justice ethic, and exploring the interplay of antisemitism, racism, and white nationalism both within our Jewish institutions and in the U.S. at large. The Jewish Bridge Project embraces the wisdom that living in a less brutal and racist culture benefits all members of society.
