The Jewish Multiracial Network
I found this site while browsing around the internet. I have been a long time listener of Addicted to Race have heard several discussions between the hosts about the experience of growing up mixed race in the Jewish community. This site seems like a great community (maybe set up by people who had poor experiences in the past) to explore the identity and really support the needs of Jewish children and families of mixed racial and ethnic heritages.
The information below is from the homepage of their site (http://www.jewishmultiracialnetwork.org/)
The Jewish Multiracial Network’s Mission
The mission of the Jewish Multiracial Network is to build a community of Jews of color and multiracial Jewish families for mutual support, learning, and empowerment. Through education and advocacy, we seek to enrich Jewish communal life by incorporating our diverse racial and ethnic heritages.
The Jewish Multiracial Network brings Jewish multiracial families and individuals together to learn about and celebrate their Judaism. We are committed to diversity and inclusive community-building, and seek to help our members strengthen their identities as Jews and members of other ethnic groups. We create opportunities for learning, nurturing and support for a large and growing part of the Jewish community that often feels marginalized by mainstream Jewish organizations. We invite you to become a part of a developing national Jewish multiracial network.
