why choose philanthropy. philanthropic in some and hopefully form changed.

>> what a great question. think about the pathway through leadership through the ecosystem and think about the poli with people we are trying to serve. some organizational vehicles to make that happen. national ecosystem like any other major field within an ecosystem. one of the vehicles and flapper three. giving you minimal resources. different vehicles to create change and create programs, policies, organizations that support the work of the field. alst no, to fellowships in the national regions. that focus on the color every other focuses on faith. merges of color, maybe cohort or class. there has been almost no

communal, to the color in the history of jewish communal flapper three in th have en drab think about the communal foundations. some of the collects we work with, those resources enable them. to give $.2 million a week. in the context we need to make sure some of the resources for communicable ecosystem program and filled our color until they opened up, a focused effort to bring focused effort, what a wonderful way to match 1 million peoplewiresource only prces the suppe to create a field for the jewish community in the u.s. >> that is fascinating.

philanthropy is a concept talk to pick. any group of people, that is other. rise in the society and the capitalistic society. is economic. pa any jewish contact as far as righteousness and giving back. a strong force. how is juice, make ourselves capable in a society. i am wondering, if you would anyway an example followed by other faith communities other folks of color in the catholic church. and in the world. and the buddhist world other ways in which list examples, that haven't followed anyway for other particular communities of examples of respond with two brief points. one, some learning, how to co o

outside of the jewish world. we work this network of color. and telepathy to inform our processes and approaches. part of it what is going on learning from outside the jewish faith from our colleagues of color and that is really important. when i think about parlay that into the safe world and other colleagues, we have this conversation. we need a version for community. any community in the u.s. a baseless community with multiracial dynamics at play. a needs to navigate his own racism issues. ra suesnot mething,to be ed. ltaci. every faith that is multiracial is affected by is affected by racism burger >> thank you so much continue the conversation a moment on mosaic.

>> welcome back to mosaic. i'm your host, wonderful conversation executive director of juice of color. will come back. so, i wanted to know if we can talk a little bit about personal individual level, what is the spiritual jewish drive for us commonly to make jews of color and and spiritually nourished in our own jewish community among ourselves. >>a beautiful question.

maybe a personal story. which is that.g our jewish spiritual life. gives us tools to navigate life. for jews of color important we do not push jews of color away from jewish life we cannot access the tools of spiritual growth. spiritual nourishment. ll, i knew this colic was a wonderful colic. unaware of the situation that had happened. i said to myself, i will make sure talk with her before yom kippur. so that she has an opportunity to come back into a relationship over the incident that had happened. at that time i said to the rabbi. tools of and e prepg foyom kippur. i would not have been able to come back to and had this

conversation. it occurred to me, how important it was to be in relationship with my spiritual pathway in my spiritual tools. to stay in relationship to navigate a moment that was awkward and clunky and felt great around racism. and help us grow because we are community together. access to jewish spiritual rates. a means we have hard times with the tools to grow. or reflect. wasn't mean in the was context quite frankly marred by negativity around politics, identity complex in the land. it is a more impot for jews in general to be connected to spiritual tools and pathways. what a shame, if racism keeps jews a color away from the jewish community and our spiritual tools and pappas. >> every faith community, essentially rests on theological foundation. weather, somebody is faith that

here it is a belief or secular. the jewish context it occurs to me with this notion everybody is creating, and god's image. for myself it seems if that is true. and must be that our diversity is a testament to god's unfathomable creativity. >> is. >> i just wonder if part of our islet's say an odd way, in an odd way, our theology has beenoscar normative, apart of the work of our faith community and other faith communities might a different way. somehow there is an internlo re do, to understand our own selves. of the diversity of god's

creativity. and, of course, god is why. white. god is an f available anyway. i do not know which reflection is on that it seems to me. these we is to belong to go in and to feel welcome. a lot to do with how we understand, the theological foundation believe is. that is where the repairs. >> that is totally, right on i would at. i'm able to turn access to hebrew. we walk into synagogues reminded about being able to stand. if he understood ourselves as diverse, if we understood ourselves as multifaceted and multidimensional it would remind us each time we see somebody try to not size them up and make in figure out what kind of jewish they are. or disparities jewish in the context. are the really jewish if they

do not look familiar to me. invitation is to remember, god is in everyone of us. and the reflection of that, the where diy re as diverse as we do not know what is in front of us we have to be careful, we have to be loving. we have to become. >> maybe racism is a specific ruling to let theology help. >> specifically theology heals, having a tool to the connection to bridge that gap. >> absolutely. will come back to this wonderful conversation in just a moment.

good morning welcome back to mosaic, but like to a quibec belong company for of director of juice of color initiative. welcome back. >> we talk so much about initial vision and velocity. let's go over the members. >> in the united states. according to the data and the research. there are about 7.2 million jews in the u.s., that number comprises both adults and young people ages 18 and under. of that number, our study tells us at a minimum, 12 to 50% of that number are jewish people

of color. at the very minimum in the united states, 1 million of our 7 million juice or people of color. to provide it in a jewish context. when you're in a minyan when you open your eyes, one person of every minyan should be a person of color. let me add, overtime, and u.s., general population in the united states, every next generation of jews born in the united states will be increasingly people of color. more and more, each generation of jews in the was with people of color, community is becoming more and more people of color. just like national data, with the timing is not the same, data tells us someday. majority of u.s. jews will be people of color. this is not just a theoretical intellectual opportunity to grapple social diversity and racism. u.s.jewish community is multira and to sure connted and strongits

ascing,anis um 10 folks, to form a prayer. for a formal prayer. most of our jews of color in our jewish urban environment. >> the question 15 lked about jewish community from other angles. we could tell he was. there is majority of jews in general, jews of color the coast. major metropolitan areas. relationships and grantmaking titles we fund jews in omaha nebraska and opted texas. raleigh, north,. sea. in cleveland. there are pockets of jews of color where there are people of color in the u.s. other thing, racism makes people move to environments that are more

hospitable and diverse. everywhere you see people of color you wish you see jews of color everywhere you see jews and yes you see of cthosrepres the ast, ys robust populations. incident committees that provide hospitality and safety for people of color when they have been dealing with racism historically. >> any jewish community itself, we had ongoing conversation about who is a and how disability say they are jewish converted to judaism and then jewish or in the jewish family. some of the jews color perspective. you i think, you are in the jewish family. if you are intermarried, is a work from the jews of color perspective. >> works the same way for the fami interfaith. mmunity

famili haveted somebodyhave families, ere they might be jewish adjacent. families that might be generally she jewish . each one of these different sessions of jewish family include people of color. we have families and u.s. people of color who are african- american, multiracial meaning both parents are african- american. judaism goes back generation after generation. in the u.s. we have some families they became a july choice in the last few years. they are focused observant jewish life. families just like the rest of the jewish community. identify as strongly jewish and do-nothing religious. nothing in their spiritual life. a very jewish identity might be cultural. might be based on different kinds of practices t religiplace.

the same way people come into jewish rights across the jewish community and ways. you see it mirrors among jewish people of color. the one caveat want to put in there, when jewish, jews a color or spaces they are challenged with judaism based on identity or how they perceive our identity. there opted jews of color tremendous amount, jews of color are observant. jews of color committed and focused in the jewish community sometimes we do not with the general jewish committee. believe it or not come to the end of our time together. i want to ask you a big question in the moment which is. where you want us to be in 10 years. >> where what is to be, i want us to comfortably understand the cells of multiracial. i want us to comfortably embrace the idea that we look in a jewish face wishes to people of , i would just

be authentically part of a dynamic where we understand racist complicated. we understand racism is real. we understand in the west, jewish community intact. and together, really committed to a neighboring every jewish person of axis. >> they keep ripping with us, please continue this converonin
