Monthly meeting for the Teen Engagement Committee leadership. Havurah teens and their parents are welcome. We meet in Zoom Room Bet.

With Buff Medb Neretin. Each week we will listen together to parts of interviews with 1) Resmaa Menakem 2) Ibram X Kendi and 3) Isabel Wilkerson. We will doodle, scrawl, color, knit... whatever you do to occupy your hands that will have a tangible product. Snacks... way important. Milk and cookies work, for sure. After we are done listening and doodling, we will talk... about what you heard, how it made you feel, what it made you think of, how it may have challenged an assumption you usually make or a stereotype you apply, notes you scribbled down or line drawings you came up with. I am very interested in your points of view. NOTE: Though the folks I have chosen are Black and speak of, predominantly, about being Black, what they have to say applies across the board for anyone who is an Other.
