"description": "Circles are an opportunity to build meaningful new connections with other like-minded Jews in your community who oppose violence against Palestinians. We are living in increasingly threatening times, and Jews around the country are using their voices to stand up against Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, and related threats under the rise of authoritarian governance in the U.S. Community Circles offer a more intimate, relational, and reciprocal approach to engaging in this moment. Be it your entry point into organizing, a way to expand your circle of like-minded peers, or a complement to your existing activism, Community Circles are a space to do peer-to-peer dialogue and learning, process difficult emotions, and explore taking action. How it works: Circles are designed to be time-bound and self-organized with the support of the local INN chapter. Grouped into small cohorts of 6-8 people, Circles will gather 5 times from late-April through the end of June 2026. Through learning and honest discussion, we’ll cover topics such as antisemitism, Palestinian narratives & histories, and the role Jews can play in fighting for a more just and equitable future. Who are Community Circles for? Any self-identified Jewish person who believes in the inherent value and dignity of all Palestinians and Israelis and wants to explore narratives that are often absent from mainstream Jewish spaces is welcome to participate in this program.",
