Come and go as needed\, our coworking days are designed to be flexible to work best with your schedule! \n*Limited space available for private calls. Please let Paige (paige@thehivesd.org) know in advance if you will be needing a private space. \nJewish Federation of San Diego\n4950 Murphy Canyon Rd\, San Diego\, CA 92123 \nIn lieu of Brain Dates this month\, join us for a special lunch and learn session at 12:30pm\, “What are Jews talking about when we talk about Israel?” with Rabbi Dr. Joshua Ladon\, Director of Education for the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America. \nWhen American Jews talk about Israel\, they are also projecting their own notions of what it means to be a Jew and how they think Jews should show up socially and politically. While those conversations have\, at times\, led to challenging disagreements within the Jewish community\, since October 7th\, conversations about the nature of Judaism and assumptions of what counts as Jewish have become front-page news. In this session\, we are going to break down the way American Jews talk about Israel as a way of unpacking the Jewish values that are often lurking under the surface of these encounters. \nMeet our Speaker:\n \nRabbi Dr. Joshua Ladon is the Director of Education for the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America\, where he guides the content and curriculum of national and regional programs to help to ensure our cutting-edge offerings speak to the realities of the Jewish community and the challenges of the Jewish people. An award-winning educator\, Joshua previously oversaw programming for Hartman in the San Francisco Bay Area. Prior to Hartman he served as the Dean of Student and Jewish Life at the Jewish Community High School of the Bay. \nJoshua received a BA from Washington University in St. Louis and subsequently lived in Jerusalem for seven years\, completing an MA in Jewish Thought at Tel Aviv University. He also received rabbinic ordination from the Shalom Hartman Institute and a doctorate in Jewish Education from the Jewish Theological Seminary. \nJoshua also teaches in the Interreligious Studies Program at the Graduate Theological Union. His writing has been featured in The New Republic\, Religion Dispatches\, Shma: A Journal of Jewish Ideas and other publications. \n

SUMMARY:Radical Inclusion: Centering the Voices of Multiethnic Jews to Dismantle Contemporary Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:Despite the fact that multiethnic Jews account for nearly 20% of Jews in the United States\, far too many Jewish communal spaces look largely homogenous. As a result\, Jewish communities are not reflecting the beautiful diversity of the Jewish diaspora. Engaging multiethnic Jewish voices in the fight against antisemitism requires establishing inclusive Jewish communities that also fight against the fallacy of white supremacy. Contemporary antisemitism is complex and animated by people who view the world through the lens of the oppressive power structures of colonialism\, patriarchy\, and white supremacy all of which are complicated by multiethnic Jewish voices. This presentation will explain how to build inclusive Jewish communities that effectively combat the narratives that function to perpetuate contemporary antisemitism in movement spaces without tokenizing multiethnic Jewish voices. \nThe training will take place from 3-5pm. Join JPro San Diego for a happy hour immediately following! \nMeet Our Facilitator:\n \nKiyomi is an Afro-Latin\, queer\, Jewish\, Marine Corps veteran\, mother who works to ensure that all of the intersecting identities of her and her children feel at home in any space. If there is one word to sum up her life’s work it would be “inclusion.” Kiyomi’s social justice activism is centered on creating more inclusive spaces for Jewish people of all backgrounds as well as eradicating racism and antisemitism. To that end\, she develops\, produces\, and facilitates panels\, workshops\, and discussions on the topics of race\, racism\, and antisemitism and utilizes non-violent communication approaches to coach people through tough conversations and promote productive dialogues. In 2020\, Kiyomi co-founded Jewbian Princess\, a Black\, Jewish women-led organization to deliver corporate-level diversity and inclusion education to Jewish organizations through a Jewish lens. Kiyomi joined the Project Shema team as a coach and facilitator to help educate people on antisemitism and its root causes within social justice activism in 2021. In her role as the Director of Partnerships at Project Shema\, Kiyomi works with Jewish activists to provide a training and support strategy with the goal of slowing the tide of antisemitism to ensure Jewish voices are included in progressive activism. Recently\, Kiyomi joined the facilitator team at Ta’amod to “stand up” for creating psychologically safe Jewish workplaces through empathy\, education\, and equity. In addition to her day jobs\, Kiyomi serves as a board member of the Los Angeles section of the National Council for Jewish Women (“NCJW”) and the national board of Jewish Council of Public Affairs (“JCPA”). She has a degree in political science and a Juris Doctorate with an emphasis in public service. Kiyomi lives with her partner and two children in the suburbs of Los Angeles where she can be found watercolor painting\, embroidering\, and sewing pieces of flare to inspire a more just world.

DESCRIPTION:You are invited to experience the power of coworking including: productive eavesdropping\, positive collisions\, and unanticipated connections. Join your colleagues from Jewish organizations across San Diego and experience a day in the life of The Hive at Leichtag Commons. \n*Limited space available for private calls. Please let Paige (paige@thehivesd.org) know in advance if you will be needing a private space. \n  \nThe Hive at Leichtag Commons\n441 Saxony Road\, Encinitas\, CA 92024 \n  \nIn lieu of Brain Dates this month\, join us for a special lunch with Sigal Kanotopsky\, The Jewish Agency’s Northeast Regional Director. \nSigal was born in a small village in Ethiopia’s rural north\, she made aliya at the age of five\, having walked three months to meet the flight that took her to Israel. Today\, she has a B.A. in International Relations from the Hebrew University\, and an M.A. in Dispute Resolution and Management from Tel Aviv University. Fully aware of her complex identity as a Jew\, an Israeli and a member of the Ethiopian community\, she made an early decision to devote herself to ensuring young Ethiopian Israelis overcame the hurdles of racism and negative stereotypes they faced daily in Israeli society. Gathering experience through several positions in the Jewish Agency and a number of social-change organizations\, in 2009 Kanotopsky arrived at Olim Beyahad\, where she has spent the last decade inspiring Ethiopian Israeli university students to fulfill their potential. \nWith her singular brand of activism\, she has turned Olim Beyahad into an efficient and effective launch pad for thousands of brilliant Ethiopian-Israeli men and women who now occupy leading positions in the corporate\, nonprofit and public sectors throughout Israel. To accomplish this\, Kanotopsky painstakingly assembled a network of 2\,500 handpicked volunteers whom she molded into an army of guiding mentors. On the way\, Kanotopsky opened doors to her students in over a thousand companies\, and increased Olim Beyahad’s budget by 50 percent through a host of additional funding partners. Unwilling to rest on her laurels\, Kanotopsky recently launched a national\, multi-channeled media initiative designed to change the way Ethiopian Israelis are portrayed in the press\, in film and television\, and on social media\, and so actively and finally reduce racism and discrimination towards the Ethiopian community and minorities in general. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:JPro San Diego Lunch and Learn: Resilient Leadership with Dr. Dean Bell
DESCRIPTION:In times of crisis\, many have identified the need for resilience. In the face of the unknown\, we often seek to return to “normalcy.” But the simple resilience of “bouncing back” is illusory. We can never return to a previous state. Instead\, we must cultivate a complex resilience that allows us to learn and grow through disruption. \nJoin JPro San Diego for this special lunch and learn session where we introduce the concept of “complex resilience”—the ability to learn and adapt through crises—along with some related Jewish texts\, and we discuss the ways that Jewish leadership can apply this concept for today and the future. \n  \n  \nMeet Our Facilitator: \nDr. Dean P. Bell is President and CEO of Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership\, where he also holds a faculty appointment as Professor of History. Dr. Bell has taught at DePaul University\, Northwestern University\, Hebrew Theological College\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\, and the University of California\, Berkeley. He has served as President of the Midwest Jewish Studies Association and has been a member of the Board of Directors of the Association for Jewish Studies. Dr. Bell is a widely published author in the areas of Medieval and Early Modern Jewish history. His current research focuses on Jewish environmental history. Bell is author or editor of 13 books and monographs and dozens of articles\, including co-author of Interreligious Resilience: Interreligious Leadership for a Pluralistic World and co-editor\, with Keren Fraiman\, of The Routledge Handbook of Judaism in the 21st Century.\n\n\n
