Unlearning Jewish Anxiety
Unlearning Jewish Anxiety
Come explore the ups and downs of Jewish anxiety and how to handle it with some real talk and good vibes. Feeling anxious lately about the state of the world and being Jewish? It's not all in your head, and you’re not alone. Jewish anxiety is not our fault. It’s an understandable response to fear, uncertainty, and anti-Jewish contempt. Rabbi Dr. Caryn Aviv, author of Unlearning Jewish Anxiety: How to Live with More Joy and Suffer Less, will lead this course with Rabbi Jenna using neuroscience and Jewish wisdom to offer practical tools for how to spot when we’re in a Jewish anxiety loop and how to respond with better habits. Unlearning Jewish Anxiety explores what anxiety feels like and untangles some common Jewish anxiety habits about our safety, worth, and belonging in this difficult world. This discussion will help you understand what we face, how we got here, and how we can live more fully in the present moment with awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion, and hopefully, less suffering. No one will be turned away from any of our classes due to lack of funds. For more information, please contact our Jewish Life Associate, Robyn Fishman Please note: tickets are non-refundable.

Hebrew Literacy
Hebrew Literacy
This class meets Thursdays, January 8 – March 26 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. Each session is 2 hours long. Class will meet in-person on January 8 and March 26, and the rest of the class will be virtual. Demystify the Hebrew alphabet as you learn the letters and vowels and how to combine them to “crack the code.” This course introduces reading Hebrew in an enjoyable yet focused atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on reading from the prayer book and words from Jewish cultural life. This course, taught by certified language instructor Keren Yairi, is for those with little to no prior Hebrew reading ability. Due to the cumulative nature of literacy learning, students should plan to attend class regularly and spend 20 minutes daily on home practice. The required textbook is “Aleph Isn’t Tough” by Linda Motzkin. Sixth & I has a very limited number of books available to be purchased during registration. Other participants are responsible for purchasing the textbook. Registration for this series closes on January 5 at 5:00 pm.
