ABOUT OUR PARTNERS

The American Sephardi Federation preserves and promotes the history, traditions, and rich mosaic culture of Greater Sephardic communities as an integral part of the Jewish experience.

B’nai Brooklyn is an inclusive Jewish community in North Brooklyn for young families and people of all ages.

Kanisse is a modern Sephardic + Mizrahi Community that welcomes all to assemble, celebrate, and learn together, both for prayer services, as well as for cultural programming.

The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life is an inclusive and welcoming community and cultural hub in Brooklyn. We produce programs to fill gaps, raise up underrepresented perspectives, and welcome the thousands of Brooklynites that have not yet found their Jewish connection point. We have created a welcoming space that reflects the spirit of Brooklyn–future-thinking and deeply historical, iconoclastic and sacred.

The Sephardic Mizrahi Q Network is a grassroots movement committed to building a vibrant and supportive community for LGBTQ+ Sephardic & Mizrahi Jews.

The Senesh School is an open and inclusive Jewish day school, where K-8 students from all different backgrounds grow into ever more curious, kind, and confident people. Senesh cultivates intellectual curiosity in a rigorous academic environment that teaches the whole child, guiding our students with Jewish values and challenging them to be agents of change toward a more just world. Together, students, parents, and staff create a welcoming and vibrant home, offering a place of belonging for diverse Jewish families.
