We provide Jewish education for Jews of Color (JOCs) by Jews of Color. At Ammud, JOCs are defined as people who are considered non-white in the U.S. by nature of their generational lineage and identify as such (including Mizrahi and Sephardi Jews). We exist to empower JOCs who oftentimes find themselves alienated or sidelined by racism in majority-white Jewish institutions. In doing so, Ammud allows JOCs to access the Jewish education needed to be empowered members and leaders of the broader Jewish community, creating space to celebrate marginalized customs and traditions, uncover lost histories, and (re)build culture. Our programming is accessible both online and in-person, allowing JOCs to connect globally and be in community.
