A Prayer for the Religious Left

The work of justice is the work of turning stone to flesh

Learning and relearning
Moment to moment
Movement to movement.
 
May the Spirit of G-d move with us in this place.
 
Teaching us to seek before we speak
To grow as ferociously as we fight and teach.
 
May we find ourselves endlessly beginning.
 
May our un-knowing become as precious to us as knowing.
 
And may the Spirit of G-d and the unlikely prophet’s words move us the rest of the way.
 
Amen.

Learning to Say "We": Writing Identity

In this immersion, we will reflect and expand on our personal experiences of identity, using writing exercises and in-depth discussions to think about, challenge, discover, explore, and experiment with different ways to identify ourselves, to consider how those ways connect us to and separate us from others, and how they represent and misrepresent aspects of who we are.

Four sessions, starting June 15th
