In September, SRE shared its 2024-2026 Strategic Plan and the updated mission, vision, and offerings. Now it’s time to gather virtually as a community to learn more about how the strategic plan will further advance Jewish organizations’ journeys towards becoming safer, more respectful and equitable workplaces and communal spaces.

Join SRE Network and a panel of leading changemakers and thought leaders to deepen your understanding of how gender, race, sexuality, ability, and other marginalized identities intersect in experiences of harm.

What It Takes; Why Its Crucial — And The Role We All Play In Making Change

SRE Network is excited to join SVIVAH on Wednesday, July 12 from 5-6:30 pm PT/8-9:30 pm ET as we continue our exploration of “upstanding” — what it takes, what it does, and why it is an essential piece of creating a world that reflects the values we hold dear.

Join us for this post-Convening follow up session to continue the work and learning we began together at the Convening. In this session, Ariele Mortkowitz and Rabbanit Aliza Sperling from SVIVAH will lead an exploration of the ideas from the Convening that resonated most, where we are finding ourselves most challenged, and what we’ve started to prioritize in our action planning. Together, we’ll reflect on and share how SRE Network can be more supportive in moving each of our work forward.

In this session, Nicole Nevarez and Dr. Andrea Jacobs from Ta’amod will identify the most common types of disrespectful workplace behavior that undermine psychological safety and contribute to an unhealthy workplace culture and then focus on intervention strategies. Together, we’ll explore practices organizational leaders can apply when we experience or witness problematic behaviors.

Amee Wurzburg and Stephanie Gray from Sacred Spaces will share how to develop regular opportunities for your community to engage with your policies. They’ll explore best practices, the considerations and steps for your planning process, and concrete ways to communicate your policies and train your staff.

You’re invited to this interactive session to understand better how the findings can serve as a roadmap for the work ahead to build more safe, respectful and equitable workplaces and communal spaces.

Based on her book, Breaking the Silence Habit, Sarah Pierson will explore why conversations about sexual harassment and violence are important and how these conversations work to prevent and respond to these behaviors.

You are cordially invited to join us as we gather together in person for the first time since the pandemic.

What can we do when teshuva is insufficient? In these sessions, we will delve into rabbinic sources that might offer new ways of thinking about how a Jewish community might rebuild itself after discovering that its leader was engaged in sexual harassment or abuse.

SRE Network held a training on creating survivor-led cultures facilitated by attorney and ORA CEO Keshet Starr and therapist Sheva Ganz. They discussed how to support survivors of abuse by instituting survivor-led advocacy programs, creating opportunities for peer leadership, and building organizations with survivor-led cultures
