NFTY Celebrates Diversity
 
NFTY has continually sought to celebrate human differences. We have always felt strongly that diversity has a constructive role to play in all of our communities, by harnessing the distinct perspectives of all people and using them to strengthen our communities for the common good. This includes celebrating differences and supporting the inclusion of individuals regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities and more.  
 
This June, NFTY and the Union for Reform Judaism are highlighting the diversity within our own communities, in addition to our many resources which assist in celebrating diversity efforts, including programs, publications, blogs, and more.
