Link accessible at joyousjustice.buzzsprout.com. ✅It’s been almost two weeks since the Colleyville synagogue hostage situation, an antisemitic event that was incredibly scary for Jewish communities. During this conversation from just a few days after, we dive into the feelings of isolation that many of us are experiencing, the all-encompassing nature of grief, our internalized terror and communal need for healing, and what it looks likes when we show up and support one another across lines of difference. Check out our discussion/reflection questions for this episode:  https://joyousjustice.com/blog/jews-talk-racial-justice-ep-73Find April and Tracie's full bios and submit topic suggestions for the show at www.JewsTalkRacialJustice.comSend us a question, idea, insight, or thought:  https://joyousjustice.com/jews-talk-racial-justice-questionsLearn more about Joyous Justice where April is the founding and fabulous (!) director, and Tracie is a senior partner: https://joyousjustice.com/Support the work our Jewish Black & Native woman-led vision for collective liberation here: https://joyousjustice.com/support-our-workRead more of Tracie’s thoughts at her blog: https://www.bmoreincremental.com/Learn more about Racial Justice Launch Pad and join the waitlist: https://joyous-justice.mykajabi.com/rjlp-waitlist-1Read more about the Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleyville_synagogue_hostage_crisisLearn more about Baltimore Ceasefire 365: https://baltimoreceasefire.com/Learn more about what mutual aid is and how to get involved: https://www.thecut.com/2020/09/what-exactly-is-mutual-aid-how-to-get-involved.htmlRead more about Cherie Brown and her thought leadership: https://www.tikkun.org/author/a_brownc/Support the showDiscussion and reflection questions:What in this episode is new for you?
