Join Rabbi Getzel and other dads for a feminist and anti-racist exploration of what it means to raise young children today. This cycle we will be focusing on our relationships with our children — how to practice love, envision our role as father, explore intimacy with our children, and what it means to teach and role-model. Through a combination of reflection on modern and ancient Jewish wisdom, self-reflection, and a good amount of group process, fathers will explore together questions of identity and spirituality. By the end of this course, we will all have made new friends, have a clearer sense of how Jewish identity intersects with parenting and develop strategies for becoming a better father and partner.
Enthusiastically open to all regardless of Jewish education, Hebrew background, interfaith status, or queer identity.
