SUMMARY:Chavruta Circle Federal Workers with Rodef 2100
DESCRIPTION:Rodef 2100 is kicking off a new initiative called Chavruta Circles to help people meet others with shared experiences and interests\, deepening connection and belonging within our community. Inspired by the Jewish tradition of chavruta—learning and discovering in partnership—each circle offers a space for meaningful conversation\, friendship\, and community building. Each month will feature a new theme—if it resonates with you\, join that circle and meet others who feel the same!\nWe will kick off Chavruta Circles on December 11\, with the first being for former or current public service professionals. With shifting policies\, job changes\, and layoffs making the future feel uncertain\, it can be challenging to find space to process what this means for us personally and professionally. Join other Jewish adults in their 20s and 30s to bond over shared thoughts\, feelings\, and strategies for resilience. Location will be shared upon registration. \n \n \nOrganization: Rodef 2100 \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
