“Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out.” The idea is deceptively simple and strongly rooted in Jewish tradition. To change society, individuals must first address their own attitudes, biases and inner lives. Easy to say, much harder to carry out. Rabbi Sandra Lawson and Rabbi Alex Weissman reflect on why, in an age of skyrocketing antisemitism, it’s as important as ever for Jewish communities to address racism from within.
