Jews of Color Affinity Group

Overview

Started in 2021, the EDCJCC Jews of Color Affinity Group welcomes all Jews of Color and their family members for holiday celebrations and community building. Our vision is to create a space that’s not only safe and welcoming for non-white Jews but can feel like it is truly their own. Our community is interfaith, multiethnic, and multiracial.

The JOC Affinity Group was started in deep partnership with four leaders in the the DMV JOC community—Sabrina Sojourner, Joshua Maxey, Toreno Herbert, and Dee Sanae—and we are so grateful to them for making this space into a thriving community.

Please note this affinity group and email list is specifically curated for community members who identify as Jews of Color and for their families.
