Mishkan Chicago is proud to announce our partnership with Edot HaMidwest: The Midwest Regional Jewish Diversity Collaborative. Mishkan is the inaugural member of the newly formed Edot Synagogue Partnership, a Program that focuses on training and coaching synagogues to strengthen Jewish diversity and Jewish racial justice. Edot Midwest Regional Jewish Diversity Collaborative is a set of partnerships and activities focused on affirming Jewish racial and ethnic diversity across communities in the Midwest region and supporting the leadership of Jewish People of Color (JOCs) as the driver for change.
Builder Stacy Broxman will serve as Mishkan’s Edot Fellow.
Mishkan Builder Stacy Broxman (she/her, they/them) will serve as Mishkan’s Edot Fellow and will lead Mishkan’s educational and social programming in Jewish diversity and racial justice.
