As we celebrate Juneteenth, we want highlight an incredible free educational resource from Be'chol Lashon:

“As Jews, we know the value of marking the end of slavery with a yearly celebration. Juneteenth has much in common with Passover as a holiday of gratitude, joy, ritual, and remembrance.

We've created this unique Juneteenth educational resource to encourage all Jews to focus on the multicultural nature of our community and the variety of ways American Jews have experienced the American past and experience the American future.”

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we reflect on history and celebrate Black stories, Black names, and Black voices. In “Honoring Our Ancestors and Ourselves,” Marcella White Campbell does all three as she takes us on her journey to learn the stories behind her family’s names, and the Black and Jewish history they carry. Read the full story here as a perfect celebration of the holiday! https://jewishdiversitystories.org/identity/honoring-our-ancestors-and-ourselves/

In April we received a grant from the UpStart Emergent Support Fund (ESF)! The ESF is a responsive grant designed to provide rapid, flexible financial support to UpStart Network ventures navigating today's evolving landscape. This funding comes at a meaningful moment and will directly support our Cultural Shift initiative and our growing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) work — helping us continue to build a more inclusive and dynamic community. We are grateful to UpStart for their partnership and belief in the work we are doing!
