The Jewish Communal Leadership Program invites you to join JCLP for our annual Sukkot Open House in the SSW courtyard on Wednesday evening, October 16, 2024, from 5:00 - 6:30, with an informal welcome at 5:45 pm. All are welcome – no prior knowledge of Judaism or Jewish holidays required.

The annual harvest festival of Sukkot centers around the temporary structure of the sukkah where, traditionally, for eight days, Jews eat, gather, welcome guests, and reflect upon the richness of the natural world and the fragility of the human structures we build upon it. The laws of Sukkot mandate both hospitality and joy even in difficult times.  

This year, at a time of great challenge on campus and beyond, please join us in building links of community and letting in the light. Together. 

Seasonal hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served.

The purpose of the Electoral Wellnes (Civic Engagement & Mental/Emotional Wellbeing) series is to invite the SSW DEI community into an ongoing conversation about power and hope during the Fall 2024 election cycle in a way that is meant to build trust and self-awareness. This experiential series will allow SSW students, faculty, and staff to build relationships in a setting that is grounded in restorative justice practices such as trust-building and active listening. This calendar of three sessions will use interactive activities to support participants in engaging in mindfulness and collective visioning as tools to protect hopefulness and plan for a socially just future in the face of uncertainty and political unrest.

Experience Restorative Justice  values in practice 

Engage in self-awareness by naming feelings through the use of art

Examine power checks and balances within National and State Governments

Discuss practices for discussing the election with clients

Practice grounding tools in the space that can be used with clients in the field

Engage in a collective visioning exercise

Process emotions following the 2024 election

We invite you to a Community Conversation around Supporting People in Our Lives Who Are Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence on October 16, 2024

More than 1 in 3 women and over 1 in 4 men experience intimate partner violence at some time during their lifetime. Due to the prevalence of intimate partner violence, we are likely to have friends, colleagues and relatives who disclose a current or past experience of intimate partner violence. In honor of Domestic Violence Violence Awareness month, let’s come together to discuss how we can support the survivors in our lives.

This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear!  If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)

About the format. With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.

Join us for a discussion with Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the 1619 Project and a staff writer at the New York Times Magazine. Hannah-Jones has spent her career investigating racial inequality and injustice, and her reporting has earned her the MacArthur Fellowship, known as the Genius grant, a Peabody Award, two George Polk Awards, and the National Magazine Award three times.

The Social Justice Changemaker Lecture was established by a generous gift from Dr. Neil C. Hawkins and Annmarie F. Hawkins and the Hawkins Family. This annual lecture focuses on important global social justice issues including race and nationality, immigration and refugees, income inequality, gender identity and sexual orientation, education, health, and mental and physical disabilities. The Lecture aims to bring prominent social justice experts and advocates from multiple disciplines, including social sciences, science, humanities, the arts, and the professions, to the University of Michigan Campus.
