Through the “Our Journey Towards Healing” initiative, 3W Consulting aims to empower Jews of Color and BIPOC individuals by equipping them with tools for self-care and spiritual resources. JoCI funding supports the planning of this program, which will cultivate a culture of equity and belonging in Jewish life for all, recognizing and addressing the intersection of trauma resulting from oppression, thereby nurturing participants’ growth as leaders within the community. Through a comprehensive curriculum and series of sessions, participants will explore the relationship between antisemitism and racism, connect with one another in virtual healing spaces where Jewishness and other identities coexist meaningfully, and gain resources needed to support thriving leadership roles. A central goal of this initiative is for participants to feel deserving of care and joy; seen, heard, and understood; empowered; and not alone in their experiences. 3W Consulting will use learnings from this pilot planning phase to develop a toolkit and short surveys that can facilitate program replication and expansion.
