HR jobsworths and the political correctness crew didn’t invent ‘Diversity, Equity and Inclusion’. Together we’ll look at the Jewishness of DEI, and explore its relevance in Jewish communities now. Then we’ll plan some practical steps to work towards deeper inclusion within all areas of community life. This session is as (un)interactive as you like!

Across the world and the denominations, Jews have experienced both lived and inherited trauma. Today, psychedelic research is showing promise for the treatment of PTSD, while helping people face ancestral roots. Psychedelics can assist us in returning to embodied consciousness allowing us to feel whole and integrated as a tikkun for trauma.

“…that which we call Rose (or Vered) by any other name would sound just as Jewish”. You might be surprised to learn that popular Jewish names such as Yael may have totally non-Jewish origins, while less familiar sounding ones like Massoud were once commonly used. Names help us understand diverse customs across communities through history.
