SUMMARY:Let's Talk About It: Navigating Conversations on Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:A new program from the JCC East Bay that centers on teens\, and parents of teens\, to be in community as we learn and grow through diverse discussions.\n______________________________________________________ \nJanuary 28\, 2024 – Navigating Conversations on Antisemitism\nJoin us as we learn about the historical roots of antisemitism and how it shows up in school and online.\nFacilitated by the Anti-Defamation League\, the session will support teens and parents with suggestions and tools for responding to antisemitic incidents and provide space to discuss concerns and experiences within our community and reflect on how we can better support our families and teens. \n  \n\nMarch 3\, 2024 – Understanding Jewish Life on Campus\nWhat can it look like to be Jewish on school campuses? How are academic institutions helping to support and uplift Jewish life? What organizations and resources exist to support Jewish students? Let’s find out by asking our questions to Berkeley Hillel staff and college students and explore together what changes we can make to support Jewish students at every stage. \n  \n\nMay 5 \, 2024 – Remembering the Holocaust | Zikaron B’Salon\nZikaron BaSalon (“Remembrances in the Living Room”) is a special way to commemorate the Holocaust. Taking place annually in thousands of private living rooms and public settings\, it passes the torch from official\, large-scale remembrance ceremonies to conversations and stories told in more intimate\, meaningful gatherings. All are welcome to join this special gathering to hear and honor the Holocaust story of one of our community members. This event will include opportunities to reflect\, ask questions\, and ground our awareness and education about the Holocaust in a warm and supportive community\, with an age-appropriate lens. \nMay the memories of all lost in the Holocaust forever be a blessing.\nזיכרונם לברכה \n______________________________________________________ \n3-session series: $36\n2-session: $25\nSingle-session: $18\n*No cost for existing Midrasha teens/families \n______________________________________________________ \nThis series is presented in partnership by the JCC East Bay\, ADL\, and Berkeley Hillel.  \n\n  \nRegister here.
