SUMMARY:Listening and Building Allies w/ People We Strongly Disagree With with Am Kolel
DESCRIPTION:There is so much divisiveness in the current period. Many people only talk to or interact with the people who already agree with them. This makes it extremely difficult to learn new ideas\, have challenging conversations\, or be positively impacted by other people’s thinking. \nIn this workshop\, we will demonstrate tools for listening to people we disagree with and identifying why it’s so hard for us to listen to certain people or ideas. We will have a chance to identify and learn practices for healing the emotions that can get in the way of our listening. We will learn specific skills for drawing people out when we disagree with them\, and then\, deciding when and how to offer our own best thinking.\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nCherie Brown is the founder and CEO of the National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI). For 41 years\, NCBI has been a national leader in offering training programs to K- 12 schools and college campuses on bridge building\, coalition building skills. For the past several years\, Cherie has offered this workshop at the U.N. in NYC during climate week. \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Am Kolel \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:An Evening with Brivele & A Glezele Tey with Hill Havurah
DESCRIPTION:Experience the joyful energy of Klezmer music! \nBrivele (Yiddish for “little letter” )\, a Seattle-based ensemble who braid together Yiddish song\, anti-fascist and labor balladry\, folk-punk\, and contemporary rabble-rousing in stirring vocal harmony. Like letters\, songs travel — through time and over borders. They pick up dirt\, aromas\, fingerprints. They are sent to lovers\, they foment revolution\, they get stolen and censored\, burned and salvaged\, sewn into our clothes. We journey into the archives of Yiddish anti-fascist musical tradition\, bringing together anti-authoritarian satire\, mournful remembrances\, and the disguised political commentary in folk ditties and theater classics. These songs are a correspondence: our ancestors’ voices speak clearly and uncompromisingly\, sometimes sweetly\, to our present moment. \nA Glezele Tey (Yiddish for “a little glass of tea”)\, a group comprised of acclaimed klezmer musicians and composers Ariel Shapiro\, Rachel Leader\, and Richie Barshay. Come for an intimate concert of klezmer\, Yiddish folk songs\, and tkhines—traditional Ashkenazi prayers centering women\, trans\, and gender non-conforming voices\, set to new melodies. Drawing from archival recordings and contemporary life in the Eastern European Jewish diaspora\, A Glezele Tey’s music is grounded in community\, ritual\, and care—lifting collective voices to move through grief\, inspire action\, and imagine a frayer velt (a freer world).\nCost Range: 10 – 36 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue \n \nOrganization: Hill Havurah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
