Racial Justice Roundtable (RJR)
Recognizing the need for deep reflective work on questions of racial bias, equity, and discrimination, as well as the unique role of the Jewish community when it comes to racial justice in the United States, @akiva is proud to offer Cleveland’s high schoolers the opportunity to participate in the Racial Justice Roundtable. Jewish teens will come together to learn and explore questions of conscious and unconscious bias, privilege, and what Judaism has to say about all of it. Participants will then have the chance to partake in a mifgash [intentional series of meetings] with black teens from the Cleveland community, which will include joint service projects, reflection opportunities, and the chance to get to know one another as individuals and community representatives. This unique leadership program is open to mature teens, free of charge, and will come with a certificate of completion.
