According to our research, approximately 20% of America's six million Jews are African American, Asian, Latino, mixed-race, Sephardic, and Mizrahi by birth, intermarriage, conversion and adoption. And Jews of all backgrounds, who are growing up in a diverse and interconnected world, value diversity and inclusion. Jews are a multicultural people who live around the world, yet there are very few Jewish educational resources that adequately address the demographic reality of contemporary Jewish life. 236257 147269 Experiential ActivitiesCamp Bechol Lashon (CBL) is Jewish overnight camp for multicultural children located in the San Francisco Bay Area, with campers from around the US and the world. Each day campers encounter Judaism through the history and culture of Jewish communities around the world, highlighting the ways in which universal Jewish values find unique expression in different places. Children explore personal identity, moving from their individual stories to seeing themselves as an integral part of global Jewish life.Community Events strengthen Jewish identity by expanding awareness of the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of Jewish identity, language, and experience. We celebrate Jews as a multicultural people through partnering and co-sponsoring a variety of community events and programs, often bridging the gap from Jews on the margins to mainstream Jewish life.Bechol Lashon Diversity Training Workshops unpack the politics of race in America, and provide skills, tools, and expertise to navigate different cultural spaces in a Jewish context. 792642 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 33 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true false false false CA X Julian Voloj 4153862604 3245 Geary Blvd Ste 591478 San Francisco CA 94159 Julian Voloj Interim ED, COO 40.00 0.00 X X 146952 0 10656 Melina Rosenberg Interim CFO 30.00 0.00 X X 102077 0 10350 Nancy Sheftel-Gomes Treasurer 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Edwards Board Chair 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jill Edwards Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Amy Albertson Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nia Taylor Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Tobin Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Octavia Shulman Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 249029 21006 2 false true false 0 822810 32889 822810 Camp fees 900099 147269 147269 Program service fees 900099 16700 16700 163969 360736 360736 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other 900099 1244 1244 1244 1348759 163969 361980 X 25937 25937 8913 8913 64900 64900 0 270034 58525 129396 82113 0 284491 284491 0 15238 14990 248 39863 25986 8491 5386 0 215 215 42042 42042 0 0 31647 31647 192127 173680 18447 1992 994 998 52350 46078 2022 4250 14280 10033 4247 0 5548 5548 26004 2296 23708 0 0 0 0 0 4459 4459 Facility rental 86846 86846 Other expenses 2403 666 1737 0 1169289 792642 277916 98731 312869 440969 470758 567396 87582 0 4301 0 0 0 0 14764 18021 0 3311960 3338207 0 0 0 0 4197933 4368894 66555 62713 18435 13768 84990 76481 X 3769824 4123984 343119 168429 4112943 4292413 4197933 4368894 179470 X true X false true false X 184223 678258 628693 605152 822810 2919136 0 0 184223 678258 628693 605152 822810 2919136 788351 2130785 29387 59208 45 91501 107046 287187 0 4803 35 604 552 1244 7238 3213561 764702 0.66310 0.70410 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true Sub-Sahara Africa 0 0 Grantmaking 64900 64900 64900 SubSahara Afrca See Part V 64900 Wire 1 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 - Grantmakers Explanation For Monitoring Use of Funds Outside US Grants are made to support life-saving services for the Abayudaya Jews of Uganda region such as clean water, mosquito nets, and medical supplies.
