Jewish & Black: Finding My Identity with the Rebbe

Choosing to begin sharing my thoughts and experiences on Juneteenth is intentional. It’s a day that not only commemorates the end of enslavement in the United States but also signifies a step towards racial acceptance and equality. By embracing Juneteenth, I aim to highlight its importance and promote understanding among my peers, both within and outside the Jewish community. This journey is personal for me, as I proudly embrace my Jewish soul while acknowledging the importance of African American history as an integral part of my identity.
