For California K-12 educators only

Rooted and Targeted: Teaching Jewish and Black Life, Antisemitism, Anti-Blackness, and the Cities We Inherit

In partnership with TOLI, This five-day seminar invites educators to rethink how they teach history and identity. The program begins with everyday life — community, culture, and the richness of Jewish and Black experiences — and then examines the legal, social, and institutional systems that made exclusion, discrimination, and erasure possible, both historically – through the histories of the Holocaust, domestic slave trade and lynching – and today.

About

Together, participants will explore how antisemitism and anti-Black racism have operated as connected systems through policies, institutions, and neighborhoods, shaping both the past and the present. The seminar combines structural analysis with immersive community experiences and practical teaching strategies that educators can bring directly into their classrooms.

Participants will leave with a shared language, concrete instructional resources, and the tools to help students understand these histories — and the ways they continue to shape the world today.
