Min HaMeitzar - From the Narrow to the Expanse:

Curious and Compassionate Conversations about Israel

Wednesdays, April 10 & 17 (6:30-8:00 PM) on Zoom

A central theme of Pesach is our individual and collective experience of moving from bondage to liberation. Bondage can manifest in many ways in our lives causing limitation and constriction in a multitude of forms. Since October 7th, many of us find ourselves shackled by reactivity, fear, and despair and struggle to both communicate and listen to others in constructive and compassionate ways.

Over the course of two sessions leading up to Pesach, participants will come together on Zoom to engage in curious and compassionate conversations about Israel. Using skills we learned with Megan Briggs in “Navigating Difficult Conversations,” these sessions will delve deeper and be facilitated by Rabbis Erica Steelman and Danielle Parmenter. Please make every effort to attend both sessions as they are meant to build upon each other.
