title: The cultural diversity of Judaism
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
We celebrate Judaism’s cultural diversity and acknowledge that Jews come from many cultures.
|
||
|
||
There is no way to look Jewish, rather Jews have a variety of customs and traditions from all over the world.
|
||
|
||
Our focus is on Iraqi Jews and their heritage namely in Kuwait and Iraq and the Mizrahi culture in general.
|
||
|
||
We don’t privilege one tradition over another rather we connect with the heritage of our lands and seek to accommodate a plurality of traditions in our members to connect with the wider Jewish world.
|
||
|
||
Kuwait and Iraq have a special place in our hearts given that our initiative was based on them and serving their Jewish communities
|
||
|
||
However as humanists our vision is worldwide and our concern reflects many cultures both Jewish and non-Jewish.
|
||
|
||
We seek to promote a safe space where differences are understood and respected. This is a community to celebrate humanity as a whole with a focus on Judaism and preserving Sephardi culture. |
