This time is marked by immense grief. From the war in Gaza, the rise of US authoritarianism, to personal losses, it seems that the dissonant cycle of grief is unending. And yet, this time also carries immense opportunities for hope – hope through community connection, hope through radical compassion, and hope through social action. What are you grieving in this moment? How does thinking Jewishly help you grapple with this grief? In what ways does your Jewish identity bring you into community and orient you towards hope? And how does thinking Jewishly orient you toward social action? 

Join us for a conversation on grief, hope, and healing in community led by BWC member, Sammie M. and based on the work Let’s Build a Room for Hope by Rabbi Miriam Grossman. This event will take place at the BWC Building on Tuesday, October 7 from 6:30 – 8:30pm. Register here.
