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.
