Multiracial Jewish families are a vibrant part of Jewish life today, shaping community, tradition, and the future in real time. On this page you will find programs, resources, and community opportunities led by JoCI grantees and partners to support you and your family in building a Jewish life rooted in belonging. We are building a future where JoC and multiracial families can learn, gather, and thrive together.
“My vision is to create those tools to have discussions with high schoolers so when they get to universities or jobs they already know, and are not surprised to see, that there is diversity in the Jewish community,” Michal Avera Samuel said.
Inside classrooms and student assemblies, the workshops invite teens to examine how bias operates in their everyday environments. Through storytelling, roleplay, and facilitated discussion, students explore how racism, antisemitism, and other forms of hate intersect—and, most importantly, how they can respond.
At a moment when Jewish teens are navigating rising antisemitism alongside broader conversations about race and justice, Moving Traditions, a JoCI grantee, is asking a deeper question: What could it look like to address antisemitism in ways that reflect the multiracial reality of the Jewish community?
The Crown Heights Birth Justice Project is bringing diverse populations together to build bridges by supporting each others’ health journeys during pregnancy and postpartum. In doing so, the project establishes a setting for authentic connections rooted in shared experiences that can inform how the Jewish community approaches building coalitions—an essential tool needed to address antisemitism.
