Jewish Communal Leadership Program Sukkot Open House
October 16, 2024 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET
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.

Community Conversation: Supporting People Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence
October 16, 2024 - 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM ET
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.
