TAPESTRY
WEAVING THE MULTICULTURAL THREADS OF JEWISH IDENTITY
In the global village of the 21st century, multicultural expertise is key to building a thriving community. While American Jews have been among the leaders of diversity work outside the Jewish people, most have yet to recognize and capitalize on the multiculturalism within our own community. Tapestry provides the tools necessary for community leaders to shift from a limited European Jewish paradigm to one that reflects the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the global Jewish experience. Through this service, the company provides innovative strategies for attracting unaffiliated Jews of all ethnicities and building bridges with non-Jewish communities of color.
