A Text Study in Commemoration of October 7th

As we approach the anniversary of the terrible events of October 7th, all of us seek opportunities to be
real about what we feel, about grappling with the hard times that remain since that day, while not giving up on
the hope that has characterized our national identity since its genesis. Out of this sentiment have emerged
many thoughtful works of activism, art, courage, community, perseverance and poetry. In the following text
study Pedagogy of Partnership offers an opportunity for havruta, in the traditional sense as well as the literal
sense of connection, with one another and a modern text which wrestles with the realities we’ve just described.
We wish for its learners that the text study provides a moment of deep listening and meaningful expression, of
learning and nourishment, with which to build ourselves and one another up in the New Year.
