We are marking this Elul 5781 at the ARDG with a special three-part season of looking inwards towards ourselves at trauma-informed and embodied anti-racism. We’ll develop consciousness of and action for anti-racism in ourselves and the Kitchen by deepening self-knowing, witnessing, communion, and compassion and grief practices. Everyone is welcome, and you don’t need any experience to attend.

Elul Activities:

• Monday, August 16 at 8 PM PT (Zoom)

• Sunday, August 22 at 6 PM PT Gathering together to watch the film Afterward, Ofra Bloch's personal look at the trauma of the Holocaust and the ways that traumatic experience can inhabit places, people, and societal structures, particularly in Germany and Israel-Palestine. With the living idea of teshuvah in our minds, hearts, and bodies, we will witness and contemplate our inheritances and jointly process and frame its relevance to this time in the Jewish calendar.

  We will be viewing the film together virtually — Zoom link here
