WHAT WE THINK

ABOUT WELCOMING COMMUNITY

Beyt Tikkun is a welcoming community. We are a congregation that intentionally fosters a sense of belonging, safety, and inclusion for all. It goes beyond mere tolerance or friendliness to implement policies, practices, and norms that value diverse backgrounds and create a culture of mutual respect and trust.

  • Inclusion and Belonging: Ensuring all people, regardless of origin, race, or background, gender, orientation, abled or disabled feel at home and have the opportunity to thrive.
  • Active Participation: Enabling newcomers to engage in congregation life, participate in leadership roles, and contribute to the community’s growth.
  • Intentional Policies: Implementing structural changes, which cover areas like education, safety, and economic development to reduce barriers.
  • Building Trust: Fostering strong, trusting relationships between like minded allies.
  • Cultural Appreciation: Recognizing the value and unique contributions that diverse residents bring to the congregation.
