Tuesday May 25, 2021 marks one year since the murder of George Floyd
Tuesday May 25, 2021 marks one year since the murder of George Floyd. His death sparked protests and calls for change, not only in our community here in Minnesota, but around the world.
In the past year, we have faced hard truths about systemic racism and its impact on all of our lives. We have come together in support of bringing comfort to each other, educating one another, and bringing food and supplies to impacted neighborhoods. We have learned from one another and many others across the nation about historical and contemporary realities that many of us have never known about or experienced, as well as those of us who have lived them. We have used our voices to call for changes in policing that disproportionately affect Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
One year later our city, country and world are all still reeling. It is hard to measure change against a problem as great as systemic racism. It is hard to recover from a tragedy like the murder of George Floyd and confront the reality that the horrific loss of his life is one among many each year. As a congregation whose mission is dedicated to Torah (learning and tradition), Avodah (prayer and spirituality) and Gemilut Hasadim (acts of loving kindness) we may use this anniversary to pursue each of these avenues together.
Below are resources for those interested in marking this day with learning, prayer and action. Only by continuing our efforts can we attempt to make positive change for the future and strive to honor the memory of George Floyd.
Over this year, our commitment has grown to the wisdom expressed by Rabbi Tarfon in Pirke Avot 2:21.
"It is not your responsibility to finish the work of perfecting the world, but you are not free to desist from it either."

ADATH'S ANTIRACISM COMMITTEE STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES AS WE MOURN THE LIVES OF THE EIGHT INNOCENT PEOPLE...
Adath's Antiracism Committee stands in solidarity with the Asian American communities as we mourn the lives of the eight innocent people, including six Asian American women, who were killed on March 17 by a gunman on a mass shooting spree at several Atlanta-area spas. We strongly condemn racially motivated attacks, violence against women and all forms of racism.
The insidious effects of race-based and gender-based attacks permeate our society in some ways that are obvious and in other ways obscure. We all must remain committed to dismantling racism against all peoples and steadfast in finding pathways to an antiracist society.
We support the statements from other Jewish organizations speaking out against this mass shooting, including:
We invite you to engage with the resources on this page and challenge your perceptions of people who may look different than you do. Take time to learn more about racism against the Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities and determine what you can do to take a more active role in being an antiracist ally.

Creating Cultural Change Around Racism
|
Adath’s Antiracism Committee formed in Summer 2020 as part of the Keruv Committee. Keruv historically identifies and addresses the ways in which members of our community have felt marginalized, and how to thoughtfully respond to those concerns. We formed Adath's Antiracism Committee in response to the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed, as well as to our Board of Trustees’ unanimous support for a national Jewish statement to say Black Lives Matter. Our congregation is centered around the pillars of Torah (lifelong learning), Avodah (prayer), and Gemilut Hasadim (acts of kindness). Those pillars do not endure without introspection continually, but particularly as we prepare for the High Holy Days. Systemic racism is difficult to change and requires an intentional engagement by each of us. As Jews, we are acutely aware of how policy and practice were used historically to discriminate against us, and that as a community we remain vigilant about rooting out antisemitism. Antiracism requires the same thing--an intentional, regular effort to make sure old policy and practice used to create inequalities are not allowed to remain and that new ones are not allowed to be created. . We have created this Antiracism Committee page in order to provide resources to assist you. More will be added over time. They will include books, documentaries, articles and information about upcoming events and opportunities to get involved with actions we are taking. You can also reach out to us with questions, requests or suggestions at antiracism@adath.net or by contacting one of our co-chairs: Sharon Garber, srgarber@comcast.net or Dudley Deshommes-Kohls, ddeshommes@gmail.com. Sincerely, Adath’s Antiracism Committee Dudley Deshommes-Kohls, Co-Chair Sharon Garber, Co-Chair Mitchell Bender Sheree Curry Rabbi Harold Kravitz Michelle Kuhl Alisha Litman-Zelle Riv-Ellen Prell Linda Stone Rabbi Aaron Weininger Julie Ziessman |

Interfaith Action in Concert with Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, John Harrington
We are about to embark on a journey with Commissioner Harrington and over 100 faith leaders from multiple denominations to discuss ways to improve public safety in the community. The commissioner will give the results to Governor Walz, incorporate them into the legislative agenda and provide grants to bring some of the ideas into reality.
Our team at Adath will listen to realistic scenarios of police calls and discuss various ways to respond most effectively to the call before and after considering how the tenets of our faith might alter our thoughts. There will be 3 or 4 discussions over a several month period. Contact Sharon Garber, srgarber@comcast.net, to learn more about this opportunity and volunteer to help.

New Usher Opportunity- Building a safe, inclusive, warm environment
Everyone wants to feel both safe and welcomed when entering Adath to pray. Adath’s Antiracism Committee and Security Committee have been working together to create usher training that accomplishes that goal. As we approach MLK Day, how better to honor him than to sign up to be one of our new Ushers trained to provide safety which is warm and welcoming to all. You’ll receive training and then help our security guard on Shabbat Mornings. For more information, contact Miranda Weisbuch, mirandaw@adath.net.
Greeting is more than "Hello"- The Power of the word
The role of an Adath Greeter is to help people feel welcomed when they come to Adath but are we always perceived as welcoming? “What brings you here?” might seem welcoming but could be perceived as something quite different if the person is already a member, especially if a Jew of Color. Volunteer to receive short training on how to greet in a welcoming fashion and then come to Adath on Shabbat either weekly or occasionally to be that person who provides a positive experience for all our congregants and guests. For more information, contact Miranda Weisbuch, mirandaw@adath.net.
Examine your own attitudes and beliefs- take the implicit association test
Members of our Antiracism Committee have learned quite a bit about their own attitudes and beliefs by traveling the antiracism road for 1-1/2 years. You can get a feel for it yourself in about 15 minutes by taking The Implicit Association Test, a project of researchers at the University of Washington, the University of Virginia, Harvard University and Yale University. Your encrypted and secure answers will be used by scholars for their research, and you will receive an assessment of your attitudes. You don’t have to agree with the assessment, but you might find it enlightening and you will be contributing to this important research. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html
Check out adath's antiracism webpage- select something to read, watch, or join
Are you interested in antiracism books for adults? How about resources for children or families? Maybe you’d like to check out some organizations for Jews of Color, get links to recorded programs, or find information on the latest Pew report. You’ll find those and more on our webpage: https://www.adathjeshurun.org/antiracism.html. Take it for a ride!
Food and Clothing are necessities that are not always available to everyone- Take a Trip- Make a difference
