Gender & Power Committee Mission Statement
The Gender and Power Committee supports the leaders and members of our Rabbinical Assembly in the creation of safe, empowered, equitable spaces.
We aspire to:
1. Cultivate transparency and accountability in the myriad of contexts that define the modern rabbinate.
2. Facilitate a consciousness of the power differentials which exist in various rabbinic relationships.
3. Advocate for those with less situational or social power.
The Committee provides resources and guidance to institute policies and practices which address both implicit and explicit bias in actionable and measurable ways. It seeks to effect both systemic and personal change and to address communal bias in our Rabbinical Assembly.
