The Racial Justice Ministry is pleased to invite you to the first round of a new book discussion workshop based on Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg’s On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World, the UU “Common Read” for the 2023-2024 year. The book is an evocative application of the work of Maimonides, a Sephardic rabbi, philosopher, and Torah scholar of the Middle Ages, toward making repair in personal relationships, communities such as FUUSN, and in broader society.
We will read the book in sections across five weeks, and complete a series of personal reflection, journaling, and discussion activities, with ten community members and two facilitators per group. We intend to offer three groups: two in-person groups and one zoom meeting, likely all on Sundays at varying times of the day, beginning January 12th.
We have designed this program to be a learning and personal growth experience and an invitation to work purposefully to make the world a better place in which to live. We hope you will find the experience thought-provoking, emotionally impactful, and inspiring in terms of the possibilities for enhancing your own life and the lives of others with whom you come in contact.
Interested? Many of you have already signed on at the Racial Justice table on Sundays. If you haven’t yet and are interested in joining, please email Meg Holland, by January 5th.
