A 90-minute space to listen and share from the heart about what it feels like to be Jewish in these times.<br>Advance booking essential. <br>Please select a ticket based on your means, no judgment.<br>If you need, you are welcome to join at no cost - just select a no cost ticket.<br><br>With the recent anniversary of October 7th, the "Zionism is Racism" Green Party vote, the ongoing violence in Israel / Palestine, and ever deepening polarisation, there is a lot moving within Jewish communities right now. We recognise there may be grief, fear, anger, confusion, love, helplessness, conflict, questioning belonging, or many things at once. This gathering is an invitation to come together and make space for what is alive for us, without needing to resolve it. The gathering will be based on the Ways of Council and will be hosted by Kohenet Rachel and held by experienced facilitators, Deana Gershuny and Nikki Levitan.<br><br>This is not a space for political debate, discussion or persuasion. We won't be trying to reach agreement or establish a shared position. I<br>You do not have to speak in this space, but you do have to be able to listen with full and compassionate attention.<br>
