Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Federated Giving Programs, Philanthropy
Mission: Be'chol Lashon (In Every Tongue) grows and strengthens the Jewish people through ethnic, cultural, and racial inclusiveness. We advocate for the diversity that has characterized the Jewish people throughout history, and through contemporary forces including intermarriage, conversion and adoption. We foster an expanding Jewish community that embraces its differences. We seek to overcome the significant organizational, cultural and ideological barriers to growth in the Jewish community. A more expansive Judaism is particularly engaging for younger and unaffiliated Jews who want Judaism to reflect the global community in which they live. Imagine a new global Judaism that transcends differences in geography, ethnicity, class, race, ritual practice, and beliefs. Discussions about “who-is-a-real-Jew” will be replaced with celebration of the rich, multi-dimensional character of the Jewish people.
Results: Be'chol Lashon has created an ideological, organizational, and programmatic framework for meeting the needs of a growing ethnically and racially diverse Jewish population, partnering with organizations to introduce new voices and model modes of engagement. We created a multi-pronged educational effort that includes research, books, articles, newsletters, Speakers Bureau, events, and curricula.
Target demographics: help strenghten Jewish identity through a racially, ethically and culturally inclusive Jewish community.
