Race Relations: Latino Jewish Relations Position of the Reform Movement

The Reform Movement and Latino-Jewish Relations

The Reform movement has traditionally recognized the importance of building bridges to other minority communities. The Reform Movement has made extensive efforts in outreach to the African-American community through seminars, conferences, coalitions, and programs. It is important the Jewish community makes the same commitment to building significant bonds with the Latino community, a rapidly growing dynamic community that shares Jewish concerns for social justice. As a community conscious of our own immigration narrative, the Jewish community should continue to play a strong role in pushing for just immigration policies today.
