Apply now to join Cohort 2 of Kulanu, kicking off this Fall.

Kulanu, Hebrew for “all of us,” is an eight-month program, kicking off annually after the High Holidays, dedicated to empowering congregations to address antisemitism and hate in their communities through education, community engagement, and advocacy.

 

During the program, participants join a network of congregations to build bridges of understanding across communities. ADL will prepare you with resources to develop and implement engaging and impactful programming through our exclusive Kulanu initiative inspiration library, interactive webinars with ADL experts, and guidance from our professionals. 

 

As a Kulanu synagogue, you will learn how to have critical conversations about antisemitism and other forms of bigotry and cultivate the tools to fight them. 

 

Kulanu synagogues commit to:

 

• Forming a working group that oversees Kulanu programming in your community in partnership with a professional or clergy liaison.
• Promoting reporting of antisemitic and bias incidents to ADL.
• Implementing two programs or initiatives, one of which engages an external audience beyond your synagogue community.
• Participating in Kulanu webinars.
• Engaging in a community of practice for at least two meetings.
• Sharing impact at the end of the program.

 

Apply now to join Cohort 2 of Kulanu, kicking off this Fall.

We welcome applications from synagogue professionals, clergy, or lay leaders with the support of their congregations. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until June 30, 2023.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the Jewish Outreach & Partnerships team at kulanu@adl.org.
