Jews in ALL Hues' First Essay Contest (on dual heritage)
Jews in ALL Hues is a proud recipient of an ROI grant. The ROI Community for Young Jewish Innovators is a venture of the Center for Leadership Initiatives that was created by philanthropist Lynn Schusterman in partnership with Taglit-Birthright Israel.

Jews in ALL Hues is a peer-led program that provides a safe space for people from interfaith families to explore their identities as mixed heritage Jews. Many have felt they had to conceal part of their identity to be accepted, while some have never felt embraced as "authentic Jews.". We provide an opportunity to feel accepted as a whole person and a part of the multi-cultural tapestry of the Jewish People.
