Judaism and Racial Identity
- Are European, Ashkenazic Jews white? How do some of us identify ourselves? - and how are we perceived?
- When it comes to solidarity with communities of color, are white Jews any different from other white people?
- How has our perceived race privileged us, regardless of how we choose to self-identify?
- How does the experience of race differ for Jews of color, Jews who are perceived as white, and Jews who fall somewhere in between?
Join a facilitated dialogue about the Jewish community's - and our own individual - complicated relationship to race. Open to all - please RSVP to info@jufj.org.

It is up to our discretion whether or not to list a particular event or opportunity. No events will be listed which take place outside of the greater DC area, or which focus primarily on international issues. We may choose not to publicize events which take place on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath - from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), or on Jewish holidays.
