Promote
Understanding  

Federation helps create the relationships and dialogue that promote true understanding across diverse communities.

The Community Relations Department promotes understanding through meaningful relationships with local leaders and communities built on allyship, impactful programming and shared priorities. We do this through:

Partnership and sponsorship of the Coalition for Black and Jewish Unity and the Coalition’s Leadership Academy 

Hosting local faith leaders for Shabbat Dinners

Regular meetings and engagement with non-Jewish partners including the Archdiocese of Detroit, Chaldean Community Foundation, Hindu Community Relations Council and other interfaith and intergroup leaders
