Be'chol Lashon's Vision: A Global Jewish People
Imagine a new global Judaism that transcends differences in geography, ethnicity, class, race, ritual practice, and beliefs. Discussions about “who-is-a-real-Jew” will be replaced with celebration of the rich, multi-dimensional character of the Jewish people.
Jews around the world face serious demographic challenges. Worldwide, the number of Jews is stagnant. Decimated by the Holocaust, Jews now comprise only 0.2% of the world's people. We believe the Jewish population, through pro-active efforts, could grow to 20 million by 2020, and 40 million by 2060.
Be'chol Lashon seeks to overcome the significant organizational, cultural and ideological barriers to growth in the Jewish community. A more expansive Judaism is particularly engaging for younger and unaffiliated Jews who want Judaism to reflect the global community in which they live.
The mission of Be'chol Lashon (In Every Tongue) is to grow and strengthen the Jewish people through ethnic, cultural, and racial inclusiveness. Be'chol Lashon advocates for the diversity that has characterized the Jewish people throughout history and fosters an expanding Jewish community that embraces its differences.
