Our Jewish Family: A Conference on Diversity and Inclusion

Our Jewish Family: A Conference on Diversity and Inclusion was a collaborative effort of Jewish Child and Family Service of Winnipeg, the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, and the Rose and Max Rady JCC. In 2 days, 8 sessions were attended by more than 120 conference attendees. Keynote speaker, Rabbi Micah Buck-Yael, Coordinator of Community Chaplaincy with the Jewish Family & Children’s Service of St. Louis, spoke about the most current clinical best practices for clients identifying in the LGTBQ2S community and the community approach to diversity and inclusive language with a Jewish lens. Jewish Federations of Canada CEO, Linda Kislowicz, moderated sessions on interfaith families which culminated into a planning session with Jewish community professionals and lay leadership. The final session concluded with the establishment of a Standing Committee on Inclusion and three task forces to address: Inclusive Communications, Inclusive Education/Training, and Inclusive Infrastructure. There was also a committee struck to draft community-wide vision and value statements, and guiding principles. It is with great pride, excitement and enthusiasm that JCFS Winnipeg was the catalyst for engaging the community on this important journey.
