“I left feeling glad to have been there and that the experience had changed my sense of self and community.” 💛 Our Tell Me Again: New Beginnings workshop brought people together over Rosh Hashanah foods, stories, and traditions, celebrating new beginnings and the communities we build.

We are heartbroken by yesterday's attack on the Jewish community in Manchester. Today and always, we stand with the Jewish community in mourning, in solidarity, and also in hope.
