SUMMARY:Tikkun Ha’Ir (Repairing the City): An Immersive Project in Hunger and Homelessness
DESCRIPTION:Though it’s impossible to thoroughly simulate what it’s like to worry about where your next meal is coming from\, or where you will sleep at night\, the Tikkun Ha’Ir Immersive Project in Hunger and Homelessness seeks to have its participants experience\, as well as examine and discuss these issues. \nWhen: Saturday\, January 17 through Monday January 19\nWhere: Church of the Epiphany Washington DC\nCost: $240 \nPlease contact Pam Sommers with questions \nREGISTER HERE \nABOUT\nFor three days and two nights\, middle/high school students live in a church parish hall and work primarily in a Washington DC neighborhood undergoing rapid gentrification. In addition to engaging in simulations of life in a shelter and food insecurity\, they spend much of their time serving meals at an area food kitchen\, and accompanying case workers who assist unhoused individuals on their rounds inside Union Station helping out at a family shelter. At all of these venues they meet with managers and directors who educate them about each organization and carve out time for questions. \nParticipants travel on foot or via metro to all of these places\, accompanied by adult team leaders. At the start of the program\, participants are divided into teams. Each team is given the amount of cash equivalent to a family living on federal SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits. Each team decides how that money will pay for all of the food they will consume for the duration of the Project. They may purchase food from the local supermarket and other shops\, as well as purchase items from an in-house “store” set up by team leaders. In addition\, each team participates in an “Iron Chef”-like competition\, preparing a meal judged on presentation\, creativity\, taste\, nutritional value and cost (the cheapest gets the most points). Each evening\, participants gather for study\, discussion and “Roses and Thorns” observations. The Torah is our primary source\, with additional readings by both ancient and contemporary scholars (e.g.\, Don Isaac Abarbanel\, Matthew Desmond\, Rabbi Jill Jacobs). Everyone is expected to eventually bring all that they’ve studied/experienced back to our Adat Shalom community. They will contribute to a collective bimah presentation on hunger and homelessness as part of the chanting of Isaiah’s haftarah during the Yom Kippur Torah Service. \nIt’s abundantly clear that work and worship can take place in a mishkan of one’s own making\, so why not let teens create a temporary spiritual home of their own devising? Have them interacting with the “gair” (stranger) that is mentioned so frequently in the Torah\, but in immediate\, hands-on\, resonant situations? And then bring back that experience to their familiar spiritual home. \nThe inspiration for this project comes from two main sources. Certainly the words of Isaiah. And most significantly\, from a community of Haitian people with whom Pam Sommers has had the privilege to work\, break bread\, celebrate and worship. After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti\, Rabbi Sid Schwarz\, Adat Shalom’s founding rabbi\, traveled to that ravaged country and\, upon his return\, encouraged Pam to organize a service mission to Leogane\, the epicenter of the quake. That experience–which has resulted in four subsequent missions\, and a close relationship with Pastor John Felix and his amazing NICL school\, congregation and community – opened her mind about poverty\, faith\, hands-on education and learning from/working alongside those you have come to “help”.
