   Arab Jewish Healing: Moving Through Colonial Grief with Shelly Elia-Shalev

   Register for Between Worlds: An Arab Jewish Group Healing Process, October 8 - November 12 https://www.malchut.one/arabjewishhealing (https://www.malchut.one/arabjewishhealing) Shelly Elia-Shalev (she/her) is a Mizrahi Arab-Jew, born and raised in Israel/Palestine, who has lived in the United States since 2018. She is a psychotherapist specializing in complex trauma, attachment wounds, and the psychological impact of multicultural and migration experiences in both individuals and couples. Shelly's goal is to help people reconnect with their inner truth, intuition, and capacity for authentic self-expression. Before moving to the United States, Shelly was active in the Mizrahi left, where she explored the multilayered and often contradictory narratives that shaped her own identity and the history of her Iraqi Jewish family. This commitment to examining silenced and marginalized histories also informed her ethnographic research, which focused on the stories, memories, and lived experiences of Mizrahi immigrants from North Africa to Israel/Palestine. Shelly's lifelong project as a researcher, activist, and therapist has been to explore narratives, intuitions, and knowledge that fall outside dominant frameworks of legitimacy. Drawing from oral history, somatic approaches, and non-Western traditions of knowing, she is interested in how embodied experience, ancestral memory, and personal narrative can reveal truths that are frequently overlooked, dismissed, or difficult to measure through conventional research methods. Across her work, she seeks to create space for silenced stories and ways of knowing to be recognized, validated, and integrated. *** This podcast is facilitated by Hadar Cohen.

   Inheriting on an Embodied Level: Deconstructing Zionism through Dance with Hadar Ahuvia

   Join Hadar Cohen in conversation with Hadar Ahuvia: dancer, choreographer and ritual facilitator. Hadar Ahuvia shares of her journey to dance as a politicized art form that helped her deconstruct the Zionism living in her body. She explains how Israeli folk dancing was intentionally choreographed from various ethnic dances and how this modern cultural creation was intertwined with the militaristic settling of Palestine pre-1948. As a dancer who is now in Rabbinical school, Hadar Ahuvia lets us into her process of building a spiritual relationship to Judaism without Zionism at the center and how she’s built connection to her ancestors through Eastern European Jewish practice and music. Hadar Ahuvia is a performer, choreographer, ritual facilitator, music leader, and educator who foregrounds the body in political, social and spiritual practice. She works with movement and voice and to suture across generations and create spaces for transformation. Her essay “Joy Vey” on choreographing a diasporist identity beyond Zionism is featured in the Oxford Handbook of Jewishness and Dance. Her years long research and deconstruction of Zionist folk dance have culminated in a cycle of performances tracing how Jewish Israeli identity is choreographed and transmitted, earned her a Bessie nomination for Outstanding Breakout Choreographer, a Dance Magazine “25 to Watch” in 2019, and is the subject of a documentary by Tatyana Tenenbaum, Everything You Have Is Yours. Ahuvia has performed and shared her research across the US/Turtle Island and internationally. She is a rabbinical student, organizes with Rabbis for Ceasefire, leads kabbalat Shabbat 3rd Fridays at Kolot Chayeinu in Brooklyn, and is working on a new cycle of performances that embody the distinctive sonic gestures of easterners European/ Ashkenazi davening.

   Jewish Spiritual Ecology & the Wisdom of Andalus for Our Times with Katie Wachsberger

   As an agricultural designer and practicing Jew, Katie Wachsberger speaks through the lens of ecology on rewilding Judaism, liberatory multi-religiosity, and a fundamental rupture caused by colonization. Katie shares about the retreat she organized in Al Andalus called Decolonizing Judaism and shows how our relationship to land serves as a mirror to the relationship we have with the Divine. In this episode, we hear about Katie’s personal journey from her modern orthodox upbringing in New York to practicing regenerative and decolonial land care across many different ecosystems. After many years in the agri-tech and agri-business sectors, Katie has remade herself as a regenerative agro-ecologist, diving deep into the complexities surrounding human efforts to restore natural ecosystems, as well as our relationships with them. Katie is an agricultural designer and consultant, an educator and an activist, a journalist and writer, and a practicing Jew. In her work, writing, and trainings, Katie promotes non-violence, deep ecology, and indigenous land-stewardship practices as essential to the paradigm shift away from extraction and separation, necessary to end occupations of all kinds. Join Katie and Hadar in this beautiful conversation where they weave ecology, spirituality, and society.
