Sukkot
2021-09-20 18:00 - 2021-09-27 18:00 (America/New_York) | Everywhere
Sukkot is one of the most joyful festivals on the Jewish calendar. “Sukkot,” a Hebrew word meaning “booths” or “huts,” refers to the Jewish festival of giving thanks for the fall harvest. The holiday has also come to commemorate the 40 years of Jewish wandering in the desert after the giving of the Torah atop Mt. Sinai.
Sukkot is celebrated five days after Yom Kippur on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, and is marked by several distinct traditions. One, which takes the commandment to dwell in booths literally, is to erect a sukkah, a small, temporary booth or hut. Sukkot (in this case, the plural of sukkah) are commonly used during the seven-day festival for eating, entertaining and even for sleeping. Source: ReformJudiasm.org

How it connects to ZBT: One of the main themes of this week-long holiday is to welcome guests. Have a
discussion with your chapter about how you can welcome potential brothers in the best possible way.

Yom Kippur
2021-09-15 18:00 - 2021-09-16 18:00 | Everywhere
Yom Kippur means “Day of Atonement” and refers to the annual Jewish observance of fasting, prayer, and repentance. Part of the High Holidays, which also includes Rosh HaShanah (the Jewish New Year), Yom Kippur is considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Source: ReformJudaism.org

How it connects to ZBT: Asking forgiveness to any people you may have wronged this past year. Take this time
for brothers to do the same. Have your brothers share/write apologies to the brothers they have wronged. This
is also a great opportunity to host a “candle pass” where you share personal feelings and stories.

Rosh Hashanah
2021-09-06 18:00 - 2021-09-08 18:00 | Everywhere
Rosh HaShanah (literally, “Head of the Year”) is the Jewish New Year, a time of prayer, self-reflection, and t’shuvah. We review our actions during the past year, and we look for ways to improve ourselves, our communities, and our world in the year to come. The holiday marks the beginning of a 10-day period, known as the Yamim Nora-im (“Days of Awe” or “High Holidays”), ushered in by Rosh HaShanah and culminating with Yom Kippur (the “Day of Atonement”). Rosh HaShanah is widely observed by Jews throughout the world, often with prayer and reflection in a synagogue. Source: ReformJudiaism.org

How it connects to ZBT: Take this time to discuss your chapter’s “resolutions” for the upcoming year. What do
you want to accomplish? How will you work together to achieve your goals?

Confronting Hate and Extremism in Online Gaming and Social Media: What families don’t know will hurt them, an internet guide for parents
2020-08-19 20:00 - 21:00
In partnership with ADL Florida we are excited to continue its virtual series Empowering Our Children with the next webinar Confronting Hate and Extremism in Online Gaming and Social Media: What families don’t know will hurt them, an internet guide for parents.
The webinar will feature ADL experts, Daniel Kelley, Associate Director, ADL Center for Technology and Society and Lauren Krapf, ADL National Policy Counsel, who will provide you with tools and resources to build safe and positive spaces for your children’s online play and social interactions . You will also hear about ADL’s efforts with the gaming industry to make online gaming safer by strengthening their rating systems, terms of service, and increased transparency on reporting of hate incidents on the platforms.
A recent ADL study on online gaming found that “74% of online players have experienced some form of harassment and 64% of those players have expressed this harassment to severe and sustained.” While we recognize that extremism and hate online is not going away anytime soon we want you and your children to be empowered and equipped to confront negative experiences.
