“White people in North America live in a society that is deeply separate and unequal by race, and white people are the beneficiaries of that separation and inequality. As a result, we are insulated from racial stress, at the same time that we come to feel entitled to and deserving of our advantage. Given how seldom we experience racial discomfort in a society we dominate, we haven’t had to build our racial stamina.” — Robin DiAngelo, White Fragility: Why It’s so Hard for White People to Talk about Racism

Talking about race is both challenging and essential—within our Jewish community and in the wider world. Drawing on the concept of racial stamina articulated by educator Robin DiAngelo, this five-week facilitated discussion group offers a thoughtful, supportive space for participants to build the capacity to engage honestly and constructively in conversations about race and racism.

Over five sessions, participants will explore their own racial identities, reflect on how race shapes lived experience, and deepen their understanding of systemic inequities. Together, we will practice staying present through discomfort, listening with openness, and responding with curiosity rather than defensiveness. The goal is not perfection, but growth: increasing awareness, strengthening resilience, and developing skills that support meaningful engagement in racial justice work.

This class is designed for those who want to better affirm and embrace the full diversity of our community and to contribute to a more inclusive and equitable Washington Hebrew Congregation.

Class is limited to 16 participants and is led by Cantor Suzanne Hamstra.
