“40 Days of Teshuvah” offers a powerful model for integrating Jewish spiritual tools and technologies like prayer, teshuva, and Mussar into the work of social change in general and racial justice in particular. This short film, by director and producer Hannah Roodman, documents last summer’s 40 Days of Teshuvah action in Grand Army Plaza.

Yehudah Webster and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) protested for 40 days culminating with Tisha B’Av 2020. This demonstration came to being after the brutal murder of George Floyd and the racial justice uprising last summer.

For 40 Days, organizers cried out to the heavens, blew the shofar, and mourned the destruction of black and brown bodies at the hands of the racist systems that exist today.

This event is co-sponsored by Kehilat Sukkat Shalom, Central Ohio Jews for Justice, and Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Cincinnati.
