SUMMARY:Jewish Heritage Celebration- De Anza College
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to experience an interactive overview of Judaism.  We will explore Jewish culture\, diversity\, and history. Some common myths and stereotypes are revealed by way  of discussion\, stories\, and candid questions such as “Who is a Jew?” and “What is Judaism?” Engage in the complexities of a 5\,777-year-old culture that has persevered and contributed to the mosaic of modern day society. Enjoy Jewish culture\, music\, and tastes of food. \nAbout the Trainer:   \nDaryn Michelle Stier’s interest in diversity awareness and the cultural celebration began from childhood and took off when she attended Oberlin College for its social justice and cross-cultural awareness that was an integral fabric of its history and educational approach. There she began SOAR-Students Organized against Racism- in order to have an active student group whose primary purpose was to look at group ethnic and multi-racial communication skills as well as assessment modalities for institutional race awareness. At the University of Michigan\, Daryn got her Masters in Social Work with a focus on Interpersonal Counseling and Community Organization. Daryn discovered an underserved population in the school’s coursework—women—and organized the student body to address the lack of any courses focusing on women in the curriculum. A course on women’s’ issues was developed and is now part of the school’s offerings. Daryn also worked at the University of Michigan’s Counseling Center and served on their Cross-Cultural Counseling Team. \nRegister online  \nFunded by DASB Heritage Months-Multicultural Education Funds \nCo-Sponsors: Co-Sponsors include Euphrat Museum of Art\, Black Leadership Collective\, African American Studies\, Intercultural/International Studies Division\, & VIDA \nThis event is ADA accessible.
