Our Work
We Build Welcoming & Inclusive Jewish Communities
We celebrate and welcome everyone seeking a connection to Jewish life. As catalysts for building strong and vibrant communities, we embrace the richness and diversity of the Jewish people.
שֶׁאָדָם טוֹבֵעַ כַּמָּה מַטְבְּעוֹת בְּחוֹתָם אֶחָד וְכֻלָּן דּוֹמִין זֶה לָזֶה, וּמֶלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא טָבַע כָּל אָדָם בְּחוֹתָמוֹ שֶׁל אָדָם הָרִאשׁוֹן וְאֵין אֶחָד מֵהֶן דּוֹמֶה לַחֲבֵרוֹ.
A human being mints many coins from the same mold, and they are all identical. But the Holy One, Blessed be God, strikes us all from the mold of the first human, and each one of us is unique.
Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5
Our Focus
Religious Diversity
We welcome people of all backgrounds and affiliations in our communities. We foster inclusive environments and programs that empower diverse perspectives and expressions of Jewish life.
People with Disabilities
We strive to remove all barriers to participation in Jewish life. We advocate for individuals of diverse physical and cognitive abilities and ensure our communities and programs are accessible and inclusive.
Mixed Heritage Families
Recognizing the growing diversity of the Jewish community, we create meaningful opportunities to explore Jewish traditions, values, and culture for people of all backgrounds, affiliations, and levels of religious observance.
Race & Ethnicity
Our Race and Ethnicity initiative (Moed) empowers Jewish leaders of color, drives racial equity in Jewish institutions, and work to ensure that racism does not limit the safety, wellbeing, or belonging of any member of our community.
LGBTQ+ Jews
Our Pride initiative for LGBTQ+ Jews and their loved ones exists to celebrate gender and sexual diversity of the Jewish community. We empower LGBTQ+ community members by providing resources, best practices, and recommendations to ensure that our Jewish communal institutions reflect the diversity of the Jewish people.
It was quite profound to hear so many perspectives and experiences in one place. It made me analyze myself and think about what I can do to ensure that Jewish spaces are welcoming and safe not just for my own marginalized identity (Mizrahi and Queer), but for all Jews of Color.
Matthew Nouriel, Leadership Mission Participant
