Are toddlers too young to learn about diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ)? As it turns out, research shows us how important it is to scaffold these concepts from a young age. Together we’ll explore how Tkiya teaches DEIJ through a Jewish lens. Join in with participatory songs, stories, t’filah, and more. We’ll discuss why it is important to support families in having conversations about these difficult topics in ways that are developmentally appropriate and centered around Jewish values. You will have the opportunity to come up with ways small and large to bring these ideas back to our communities.
