Ayecha Jewish Diversity Resources

Ayecha Jewish Diversity Resources is at the forefront of educating, training, promoting and celebrating the diversity of the American Jewish community. It aims to bring Jews together to experience the warmth and beauty of a racially and culturally enriched Jewish community and accomplishes this through training, curricula and programming. Additionally, it is building support across communities of Jews of color and multi-racial families through networking, advocacy and leadership development programs. 

On the ground, Ayecha facilitates a Rabbinical Advisory Council to educate and foster a culture of inclusion in synagogues and communal outreach environments. It also offers marketing tools and strategies to organizations that want to recruit diverse audiences. Furthermore, Ayecha provides special events and workshops such as Welcoming the Stranger and Building a Just Community through Inclusion, Equality and Tikkun Olam. 

With more than 400,000 Jews of color in the United States, G-d’s question to Adam in the Garden of Eden applies to all of us: “Ayecha: Where do you stand?” With the help of Ayecha Jewish Diversity Resources we can all answer, “We stand together.”
