1. Black-Jewish Dialogue

Who does it:
Sinai Temple in Springfield, MA

What they do:
A series of study circles with an African-American church in an effort to facilitate dialogue between the Black Christian community and the Jewish community.

Time commitment:
Variable, depending on whom does what in planning the event; non-recurrent.

Who they do it for and why:
Members of the dialogue circle learn about each other's history, culture, liturgy and social concerns. The National Coalition Building Institute, which runs diversity workshops, can assist in designing the program and identifying prospective partner churches.

We would need:
¨ One or more persons willing to assume leadership of the project and manage it.
¨ A pool of volunteers willing to help plan and implement various aspects of the event.
