Racial justice is a Jewish value. To help turn our commitments to equality into real equity, Reconstructing Judaism is proud to partner with Reparations4Slavery and Reparation Generation to bring you an intensive workshop on the history of American housing policy and the denial of access to Black Americans resulting in today’s racial wealth gap. Ground yourself in Jewish understandings of teshuvah, tzedek, and tikkun. Discover your own place in the story of wealth generation, access to home ownership, and practices like government home buying programs, redlining, and neighborhood disinvestment that uphold institutionalized racism. Then put that learning into practice through community-funded reparative housing grants, a model for reparations that can materially benefit people now and forever change the lives of future generations.
