We are so excited to welcome you to Learning for Liberation 5785, the 2nd annual justice-centered Shavuot celebration of Greater Boston.

WHO: We are a group of community organizers, activists, rabbis, spiritual leaders, community members and collaborators. Some of us are affiliated with congregations; others with minyans or spiritual communities. Some of us work for Jewish or faith-based organizations; some of us organize or volunteer with Jewish and non-Jewish movements for justice and liberation.

WHAT: A tikkun leil—a Shavuot tradition of all-night study—which speaks to a desire for a Shavuot observance that meets the spiritual and political needs of the Jewish left. Our workshops will center Jewish leftist perspectives + teachings often left out of the Jewish mainstream; a commitment to liberation for Palestinians, Jews, and all peoples affected by systems of oppression; and an intersectional analysis speaking to rising threats of authoritarianism, fascism, and more. We commit to being a justice-oriented, connective, imperfect space, for those that seek to learn and grow in community.

This event is co-sponsored alongside Nehar Shalom and Kavod.
