Uniting Our Stories.

Sunday, February 15

12:00–4:00 PM

Come celebrate 100 years of Black History Month in the state it all started! 

What’s in a name? “Shalom” is the Hebrew word for peace and greeting. “Sankofa” is a symbol from the Akan peoples of West Africa, meaning ‘go back and fetch it,’ urging us to look to our past to build our future. Join us as we unite these powerful ideas and celebrate the rich tapestry of Black Jewish life, with artful narratives of all kinds, including lyrical performances, keynotes, and photos, from and about the Black Jewish diaspora, and a special talk on the vibrant stories and voices from the Black Jewish queer community. This event is a space for all of us to explore what it means to belong, fostering a more inclusive and peaceful community together.

JPrideRVA

June 7 - 13

JPrideRVA creates opportunities for Richmond’s Jewish LGBTQ+ community to proudly embrace and celebrate both these vital facets of identity. At a time of rising antisemitism and legislation targeting the LGBTQ+ community, Jewish spaces must be safe havens for connection, learning, and support.

JPrideRVA - Ancestral Allyship

Thursday, June 11

7:00 PM

Ancestral Allyship, a new book by Rabbi Mike Moskowitz, is rooted in the knowledge that how we treat each other defines our religious identity. Allyship is often seen as a response by someone of privilege to the oppression or affliction of another. This is only necessary when the unity of our humanity has already broken down. In the Jewish tradition, we are obligated to proactively prevent this breakdown. When we attach ourselves to God’s expectations of ethical living, cleaving to an ideal way of being, we strive to create a world free from all forms of dehumanization. This book helps us to move closer toward it.
Books will be available for purchase and book signing to follow.
