SUMMARY:Fat Torah with Rabbi Minna Bromberg
DESCRIPTION:Weight stigma causes discrimination against the largest among us… in education\, healthcare\, employment\, and beyond. It is also damaging to the mental health of people of all sizes. Jewish tradition counters fatphobia with this simple truth: All human beings are created in the image of the Divine\, and each of us is unique and of infinite worth\, no matter our size. As Jews\, we are called upon to create a world that reflects this truth. In this session\, we’ll learn how weight stigma shows up in our Jewish communal lives and how we can deploy Jewish tradition for the liberation of all bodies. \nNo Fee \nRABBI MINNA BROMBERG\, Ph.D. is the founder and president of Fat Torah. She is passionate about bringing her three decades of experience in fat activism to writing\, teaching\, and change-making at the nexus of Judaism and body liberation. Her forthcoming book is Belonging for Every Body: a Fat Torah guide to building inclusive spiritual community. Minna received her doctorate in sociology from Northwestern University\, with a dissertation on identity formation in interfaith couples. She was ordained at Hebrew College in 2010. She lives in Jerusalem with her husband\, Rabbi Dr. Alan Abrams\, and their two children. \nZoom Link \nMembers Register Here \nNon Members Register Here \n

DESCRIPTION:This program has been postponed to Fall 2022. \nThis past Rosh HaShanah\, the Jewish calendar entered the sh’mita year\, the once-every-seven-years biblical sabbatical.
