This weekend, Jews of Color, their families and allies across the world will log on for a trailblazing virtual Shabbaton under the umbrella of the JOC Mishpacha Project. Encompassing everything from prayer to mindfulness to educational talks, the Shabbaton is spearheaded by Dr. Harriette Wimms, a Baltimore-based psychologist, organizer and soon to be ordained Kohenet Priestess. In the midst of her busy weeks preparing for the event, Dr. Wimms hopped on the phone with Lilith’s Sarah Seltzer to talk about her vision, her plans and the spiritual significance of this gathering.
