Cultivating Belonging

Belonging goes beyond access and inclusion—it’s about co-creating structures reflecting Jewish life’s diversity. In this workshop, you’ll define belonging, assess your current efforts, and explore adaptable resources to enhance belonging in your work. This interactive workshop is for team members, managers, and all professionals. Through a community charrette model, we will explore a case study to apply Belonging design principles as well as have opportunities to bring your own belonging challenges to the table for input. Participants will develop an understanding of current Belonging frameworks; have opportunities to apply Belonging design principles in their work; and be inspired to help co-create a body of best practices for belonging in our Jewish Communal Ecosystem.
