Describe Your Initiative Sha’arey Ometz * Gates of Resilience is a intergenerational community that centers storytelling and healing processes by and for folks from the margins. We facilitate in-person and zoom events that affirm the needs of people who are high risk and disabled, as the covid-19 pandemic and rages on. We share and co-create tools to help us thrive and reach for joy during this time of politicized danger directed at disabled people, BIPOC, trans people, women, poor people, and queers. What Are You Hoping to Learn from the Initiative? I am excited to learn from each and every person who chooses to attend, and co-cultivate a space that fosters deep listening to the inner Torah (wisdom) that we all have access to and rely upon. I am stoked to co-facilitate healing space with other people who are striving to build a world where we don’t need to be resilient.
