We are two diverse multicultural Jewish women of color who come to this work with different lived experiences and stories, joining our voices to reflect the past, present and future diversity of the Jewish people -- who care about racial justice, who care about our beloved Jewish community coming together to make a collective impact -- that is the heart of who we are.
