Strengthening Racial Justice in the Kansas City Jewish Community

Friday, September 11, 2020
12:00 pm1:00 pm

Join us for a special Zoom panel discussion on becoming an anti-racist Jewish community. The expert panel will explore powerful insights on how to identify implicit biases, recognize racism, and understand what it truly means to be an anti-racist and an ally to Black communities.

This conversation will equip participants with a critical starting point on how we can individually and collectively engage in the work of racial justice.

The panel will bring together Gavriela Geller, Executive Director, JCRB|AJC; Hilary Singer, Executive Director, Jewish Vocational Service; Rabbi Doug Alpert, spiritual leader of Congregation Kol Ami; and Jancyn Appel, Carleton College Student and native of the Kansas City Jewish Community. The moderator for the panel is Nate Looney, Avodah's Manager of Racial Justice Initiatives.

JCRB|AJC is a co-sponsor of the event, alongside Avodah and Jewish Vocational Service.
