[quote=Anonymous]It would be far for you, but I highly recommend Temple Shalom in Chevy Chase on EW highway.  We have a number of members who identify as Jews as Color.  And our Rabbi is very committed to doing a deeper dive into what being an anti-racist congregation looks like.  She isn't content with saying, oh look how diverse we are and assuming that our members of color are comfortable and not experiencing discrimintation or microaggressions even within our own community.  Her whole sermon two years ago during Yom Kippur was about this very topic and it launched a multi-year journey (that is still going on) about what it would truly mean to not only be welcoming to Jews of Color but also actively anti-racist in our own community and in the larger jewish community.  We are by no means perfect, and it is possible that if you are Conservative that our Reform services wouldn't resonate, but please do come for a Shabbat and check us out.  Let the office know you are coming so someone can be there to welcome you...[/quote]
