Each day campers encounter Judaism through the history and culture of Jewish communities around the world, highlighting the ways in which universal Jewish values find unique expression in different places. Children explore personal identity, moving from their individual stories to seeing themselves as an integral part of global Jewish life.Community Events strengthen Jewish identity by expanding awareness of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of Jewish identity, language, and experience. We celebrate Jews as a multicultural people through partnering and co-sponsoring a variety of community events and programs, often bridging the gap from Jews on the margins to mainstream Jewish life. 187612 13500 Leadership As the Jewish community becomes more racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse, Be'chol Lashon seeks to bring the historic Jewish commitment to civil rights and racial justice forward into the 21st century by providing opportunities for Jewish professionals and others to actively engage in conversations about race, ethnicity and identity. Our Speakers Bureau addresses a wide range of topics of interest to congregations, organizations, campuses, and communities. Be'chol Lashon speakers are dynamic diverse community, academic, and cultural arts leaders who are ambassadors for a global and diverse Jewish community. 178892 121568 Educational Resources Bechol Lashon creates educational resources that strengthen Jewish identity by expanding awareness of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of Jews around the world. According to our research, approximately 20% of America's six million Jews are African American, Asian, Latino, mixed-race, Sephardic, and Mizrahi by birth, intermarriage, conversion and adoption. And Jews of all backgrounds, who are growing up in a diverse and interconnected world, value diversity and inclusion. Jews are a multicultural people who live around the world, yet there are very few Jewish educational resources that adequately address the demographic reality of contemporary Jewish life. Our educational resources provide skills, tools, and expertise to navigate different cultural spaces in a Jewish context. 593688 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 24 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 8 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X Julian Voloj 4153862604 3245 Geary Blvd Ste 591478 San Francisco CA 94159 Julian Voloj Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 146352 0 11674 Melina Rosenberg Dir.
