Shine A Light
The first step to eliminating forms of hate is to talk about it openly and honestly. Remember that each of us has multiple identities (race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, etc.) and that we don’t always know another person’s identities and experiences from their physical appearance. People will have different reactions to difficult conversations. Know that being uncomfortable and feeling vulnerable aren’t always bad things.
Shine A Light
Shabbat dinner is an opportunity to be in community and learn from and with one another. The ritual of welcoming guests, Hachnasat Orchim, is one of the most fundamental Jewish principles. We express hospitality by welcoming guests or graciously being welcomed, while honoring the value in all human beings (kavod ha’briot).
Shine A Light
This Shine A Light resource outlines what antisemitism is, what anti-zionism is and what modern day antisemitism is by looking at Jewish stereotypes and the relationship between Israel and the Jews.
Project Shema
Project Shema's goal is to build bridges through understanding. This guide assists members of the community in identifying, understanding and addressing anti-semetic harm in conversation.
Shine A Light
Shabbat dinner is an opportunity to be in community, learn from and with one another, and begin to heal from the ills of antisemitism. We invite you to continue to join us by gathering people in your communities and networks for a Together at the Table dinner to engage in constructive dialogue with a plurality of perspectives, to address deep, painful divides in our communities, and to consider the role we can play in strengthening civil discourse and society.
