Correlate JOC: Between Us Fall Cohort (Los Angeles)
Applications are open! Calling JOCs, non-Jewish BIPOC, and non-JOC Jewish folks to apply for our Between Us cohort, an embodied, relational journey into bridge-building across antisemitism, racism, identity, intersectionality, and solidarity. The cohort will meet 4 Thursday evenings Nov-Dec. Through connection, active listening, empathy, curiosity, real dialogue, embodiment, and spiritual practice such as Mussar, we will develop our embodied and relational capacities for dismantling antisemitism and racism in community. Cohort members will each get a deck of the inaugural Between Us Bridge-Building Card Game to build bridges in their own communities.
Apply today! (rolling applications due by 10/25)
