This secondary data analysis was designed to further explore the findings on the Latin-Jewish community from the 2021 Study of Jewish LA, commissioned by the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. This project aims to provide deeper insights and a more nuanced understanding of the Latin-Jewish population, building on the foundation of the original study.
This report is the first of its kind to comprehensively explore the unique experiences, challenges, and resilience of LGBTQ+ Jews of Color in Jewish spaces. “Threads of Identity” is both a love letter to LGBTQ+ Jews of Color and all the parts of who they are, as well as an offering of actionable steps for the Jewish community to honor the full spectrum of its members by creating spaces where all Jews feel like they belong and that fully embrace LGBTQ+ community members of Color.
The Jews of Color Initiative is embarking on our next major research study. We seek a highly-talented research team to conduct a meta-analysis of available data to answer the question, how many Jews of Color will there be in 2025, 2030, 2040, 2050?
There is limited research that focuses explicitly on Jews of Color in the United States. The JoCI is accepting proposals for grants ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 to amplify Jewish scholars of color and support research focused on Jews of Color in the United States.
