DEI Educators Network
About this Network:
This network is for Educators working in Jewish spaces whose work focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This work is meant to affirm all identities, both dominant and marginalized, so that every person feels a true sense of belonging.
Additional Information:
Within this network, Educators will:
- Have the opportunity to work with and from one another;
- Have the ability to work in hevruta (small groups) and have explicit thought partners;
- Be in community with one another;
- Hear about how DEI work happens across the country in Jewish spaces, and what similarities and differences arise from geography;
- Celebrate the importance of affirming all identities through DEI work.
About the Facilitator:
Eliana Rubin
Eliana Rubin is a queer and trans educator and artist based in New York City. She aims to help people better understand themselves and the world around them, and is deeply grateful to do so through her work at Keshet.
Prior to joining Keshet, Eliana worked at The Jewish Education Project as their Education Manager for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEI+B). Through her work, The Jewish Education Project reached over one thousand educators, fostering DEI+B actions and thought processes across the country. Eliana received her Master of Educational Leadership from Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, and her BFA in Drama from NYU / Tisch.
Eliana is a musician and theatre maker. She intertwines her love of Jewish education with the arts through her original educational modality, Jewiscals (Jewish musicals), short musical numbers based around our sacred texts. She will never say no to a bag of movie theater popcorn.
