Beyond the Count: Perspectives & Lived Experiences of Jews of Color

Temple Sinai, The Davis Center for Social Justice, and Multiracial Sinai are pleased to announce an upcoming DC area wide in-person presentation of Beyond the Count: Perspectives and Lived Experiences of Jews of Color. The report provides the first-ever look on such a large scale of the Jews of Color community in the United States. Findings from 1,118 surveys and 61 interviews detail how Jews of Color think about Jewish identity, their experiences in Jewish communities, their experiences with systemic racism in Jewish spaces, and more.

Join us at Temple Sinai* as we welcome Ilana Kaufman, Executive Director of the Jews of Color Initiative, for a compelling conversation on the multiracial reality of the Jewish people and how systems of inequality are perpetuated in our own community.

For those who identify as People of Color, Temple Sinai will host an informal Affinity Group dinner beginning at 6 PM. There is no charge for the dinner. Pre-registration is required.

Thanks to the following congregations for their support of this program: Adas Israel Congregation, Sixth & I, Temple Emanuel, Temple Micah, Temple Shalom, Washington Hebrew Congregation

* This is an in-person program only. Temple Sinai does not require masks or proof of vaccination for anyone entering the temple with the exception of Nursery School programs and meetings.
