INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH AND COMMUNITY RESEARCH
Be’chol Lashon (a program of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research) celebrates and prioritizes diversity as a Jewish value by uplifting the historic and contemporary racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the Jewish people and, in doing so, strengthens the entire Jewish community.
About INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH AND COMMUNITY RESEARCH
The Institute for Jewish and Community Research (IJCR) was founded in 1998 as an independent research think tank focused on Jewish demographics, philanthropy, and antisemitism. Under the leadership of Gary Tobin the organization launched Be’chol Lashon ("In Every Tongue"), which has become the Institute’s primary programmatic identity and public-facing work. Today the organization operates under the Be’chol Lashon banner and offers research, educational resources (Passport to Peoplehood), DEIB trainings for Jewish institutions, a multicultural leadership summer camp (Camp Be’chol Lashon), a speakers bureau, and publications (Jewish& / JewishDiversityStories). In recent years Be’chol Lashon has relaunched its website and Jewish& publication, continued Camp Be’chol Lashon programming, provided DEIB training to dozens of Jewish organizations, and organized community events and innovation-hub projects to amplify diverse Jewish voices.
