9. Beckee Birger

Why does this moment, from the killing of George Floyd to the subsequent protests nationwide, resonate more strongly and activate our communities more viscerally than previous examples of police brutality or violent racism? This is just one question that we pose to Beckee Birger this week. Beckee also speaks about her amazing work developing future generations of justice-oriented, Jewish philanthropists through her work as the Program Director for Teen Leadership and Philanthropy for the Jewish Federation of Chicago and the power of spaces specifically for Jews of Color, like the Jews of Color Caucus which she helped to create at the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs.
