RebBEE in Res: “‘For Us By Us’ Spaces by Jews of Color” with Rabbi Mira

June 21, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:15 pm PDT

- $18

As the summer morphs into the month of Elul just before the High Holidays, I will go in and out of the revolving door of Heshbon Nefesh (the accounting of the soul). My fingers will knuckle down on the memory of unyielding bars on gates that have shut me out of Jewish treasures because of the color of my skin. And I cried out, “Open the gate for us!” Pinioned away behind gates, I was pilloried by baseless assumptions honed and polished to perfection, passed from generation to generation. Petach lanu shaar – open the gate for us. This I asked of fellow JOCs. And we have: by creating For Us By Us spaces. How have we done this? Come learn with us.

Hayom yifneh hashemesh yavo, the day is turning, the sun is returning
V’yifneh navoah shearecha, may we now come into your gate
