Addressing Racism in Jewish Education
Save to library
Thank you for joining The Jewish Education Project and Repair the World New York for a live-cast honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend. This session was co-moderated by David Bryfman, CEO of The Jewish Education Project, and Rachel Figurasmith, Regional Director of the Northeast at Repair the World. In this session we discussed how we—as educators, parents, and caretakers— can use Jewish education to center antiracist practices even during a pandemic and why it's important to do so.
Panel participants included:
- Shekhiynah Larks, Youth and Family Program Coordinator and diversity trainer for Be'chol Lashon
- Tehilah Eisenstadt, Director of Yachad & Family Engagement at Congregation Beth Elohim
- Pam Alcala, Assistant Director of Youth Engagement Temple Sinai of Roslyn

CEO David Bryfman kicks off Season 5 of Adapting with a powerful episode that sets the tone for the season ahead, now more critical than ever especially after the news of the six hostages who were murdered by Hamas. As Bryfman reflects on the podcast’s journey since its inception in 2020, he challenges listeners to think critically and deeply about the new reality confronting Jewish educators in a post-October 7th world—one that has upended many of our long-held beliefs.
