The Importance of Embracing and Affirming Our Grandchildren’s Many Identities

Children are growing up in a world that is new to many of us. Terms like “non-dominant identities, REDI (racial equity, diversity and inclusion), transgender and nonbinary” may feel unfamiliar and even uncomfortable. These sessions will provide us with foundational knowledge, shared language, and inclusive practices so that we can better demonstrate our unconditional love and support for the important young people in our lives. Join us for a two-part series by the Union for Reform Judaism, Jewish Grandparents Network, and Keshet to support you in providing affirming spaces for gender-expansive, non-binary, and transgender young people.
