Justice Through Preschoolers’ Eyes
The Jewish community is diverse and is becoming exponentially more so. Helping Jews of Color and White Jews build shared language to discuss issues of race, racism, and injustice from an early age will support racial equity efforts within the Jewish community.
We want to be raising young people who:
– know and are proud of who they are
– are able to engage in equitable relationships with others
– have the skills to recognize and name unfairness in the world around them
– are empowered to take action to address injustice
Let’s explore how to do this together!
