COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
We respect people’s marginalized identities: No racism, homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, femmephobia, whorephobia, sexism, ableism, sanism, classism, ageism, sizeism, Islamophobia, antisemitism, faith-bashing or other oppressive attitudes or behaviours.

We don’t assume anyone’s race, dis/abiity, gender, or pronouns. If you don’t know someone’s pronouns, ask.

If someone points out something we said or did was harmful, we avoid getting defensive, correct the harm when possible, and aim to do better next time.We avoid jumping in and correcting others or offering comments when it’s someone else’s turn, unless they specifically asked the group for input.

We are patient with slower speakers. Any & all efforts to speak / sing in Yiddish are encouraged!

We repeat anything said in Yiddish also in English, in the main room, so everyone understands (unless we break out into intermediate/advanced level rooms).

We are mindful of the space we take up & share talking time with all others.
          Make Space: If you tend to be someone who talks a lot, make space for others before sharing.
          Take Space: If you tend to be someone who doesn’t take space, we encourage you to! We keep ourselves muted when it’s not our time to speak.
