Confronting Baseless Hatred.
A women’s teaching and learning group dedicated to creating Jewish unity.
Left unchecked, our primitive brains form rapid, subconscious biases (Hatred)
“An excessive, and unfair reaction by one Jew, who in his moment of hate, instantly transforms another Jew into a permanent enemy.”
— Dr. Rene Levy, Founder of Teaching Jewish Unity
This neurological response erodes our critical thinking, dismantles our empathy, and severs the vital bonds of mutual responsibility between us.
‘Arevut’ means
Mutual Responsibility
A divided community cannot survive its enemies.
The Solution
Build communities that reject baseless hatred.
Cultivate within educators the empathy needed to heal our divided communities.
The Method
A unique synthesis that blends the modern neuroscience and the psychology of hatred with the ageless wisdom and teaching traditions of Jewish women.
Heal within yourself
Lasting change doesn't start in a classroom or a boardroom — it starts in the mirror. Examine, reflect, and be open to growth.
THEN TEACH YOUR COMMUNITY
We’re developing a variety of tools
to impact any and every Jew.
At TJU, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all. We are working to create a library of tailored resources for every background—and we’re looking for the right minds to help us build them.
Check out the toolkit below to see what’s in development and how you can join the lab.
