A minority within a minority and a diaspora within a diaspora, the experiences of Jews of Color are often treated as peripheral to a mainstream understanding of Jewish identity grounded in European Jewish history. A shift in perspective reveals the way Jews of Color and their experiences connect the Jewish community to the world around us through the intersections they share with other marginalized groups. This series of short films, curated by and for Jews of Color but open to all, will explore the diverse experiences of JOC related to themes of race, belonging, migration, diaspora, and the transmission of culture. The evening will conclude with a celebration of the cultural richness of JOC identities through food, music, and community.
