The Jewish Multiracial Network...Because Jews Come in All Colors

Fri, 29 Dec 2006 08:58:08 -0500

The Jewish Multiracial Network discussion list brings Jewish multiracial
families and individuals together to learn about and celebrate their Judaism. We
are committed to diversity and inclusive community-building, and seek to help
our members strengthen their identities as Jews and members of other ethnic
groups. We create opportunities for learning, nurturing and support for a large
and growing part of the Jewish community that often feels marginalized by
mainstream Jewish organizations.

Rabbi Arthur Waskow, AJWS, Israeli press, and others, 12/30/2003

Dear Folks,

Many readers responded to my sending out the announcement by the American Jewish World Service of its efforts to aid Iranian quake victims by asking my feelings and thoughts about the Iranian government's rejection of the Israeli government's offer of aid to the victims.

The answer is that I feel both anger at the Iranian government and agony on behalf of the people who were suffering and being denied even some proportion of possible aid.
