"I will not weep for shattered eggshells from which birdsong fills the world." —"Tisha b'Av," from Rimonim by Aurora Levins Morales
In this moment of our history, we face many kinds of breaking: our hearts, our communities, our allegiances, many of the relationships and beliefs we took for granted — even the ecosystems within which we exist. But breakage is not only loss; it is also an opening to previously unimagined possibilities. Breaking is also birth and has its own beauty. Together, we will examine our contemporary broken temples, sifting through ruin for seeds and treasures. In what ways does their breaking release us? What gifts are concealed in the wreckage?
Join CDT along with Nehar Shalom, Dayenu, Kavod, Jewish Liberation Fund, and Temple Beth Zion for this two-hour workshop that will include Aurora sharing her poetry and facilitating small and large group conversation.
