Based in San Francisco, California JIMENA is the primary Jewish-American organization educating and advocating on behalf of the one million Jewish refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, and their Mizrahi and Sephardic descendants. JIMENA serves a thought-leader and resource center for multiple institutions advancing the history, heritage, needs, and rights of Mizrahi and Sephardic Jews. Through the advocacy arm of JIMENA, we are committed to advancing Jewish communal and public policies that officially recognize and prioritize the basic needs and rights of former Jewish refugees from Arab countries and Iran. JIMENA’s Education and Engagement initiatives serve as a resource to empower and enrich the communities and institutions we serve. Through our partnership model, we serve as an access point for Jewish and non-Jewish institutions and leaders to be provided with content, information, thought leadership, and communal support for the ongoing internalization and integration of Sephardic and Mizrahi heritage into organizational projects, programming and priorities. JIMENA also serves as a convener and hub to help North American Sephardic and Mizrahi leadership learn and work together in order to strengthen our respective institutions and leadership capacities.
