Sample Training: Understanding and Managing Cultural Difference in a Jewish C...Lisa Finkelstein
The goal for this sample 90-minute workshop, lesson plan, or training outline is to strengthen the ability of the participants to teach, role model, and/or transmit the topic of understanding and managing cultural differences to others. As a group, we will be defining cultural differences, as well as discussing issues of class, race, and nationality (or national origin).
While we are speaking about cultural differences, we will not specifically focused on all topics of diversity including religious denominations, gender identity, and family structures as this is covered in a different training. Specifically, this workshop aims to have the following learning objectives:
1. To define, re-familiarize and understand what are cultural differences.
2. To challenge participants to look at cultural differences with a new lens.
3. To help participants learn how to manage and advocate for cultural differences.
4. To practice managing cultural differences.
Estimated sample workshop for thirty participants in 90 minutes.

NUJLS is the National Union of Jewish Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Intersex Students.
An annual tradition since 1997, the NUJLS conference is an opportunity for students to connect, learn, celebrate Shabbat, learn, and lead together--and take valuable skills back to their campus.
Nearly 1,000 students have participated in the 16 annual conferences over the years.
Hosting a NUJLS conference provides an opportunity for visibility for the host campus, and affirms the role of the university, the local Hillel foundation, LGBTQ partners in the complex and evolving identities of our students. Students have an opportunity to plan, to lead, and to host peers from around the country and engage their local Jewish LGBTQ students and others interested with the presence of the conference.
The NUJLS conference brings approximately 100 students each year from across the United States and Canada to one campus for a social, religious, educational, and social justice experience.
The hosting campus will work with the Board of NUJLS to set an appropriate date for the conference (Friday through Sunday) during the spring semester, generally in February or April.

The LGBT Alliance of the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund (SF JCF) of San Francisco, The Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties 2009-2010 program grant request for the purpose of funding the LGBT Alliance to increase opportunities for Bay Area LGBT Jews to fully participate and celebrate in Jewish life.
The Alliance began in 1996 as the Gay and Lesbian Task Force of the Jewish Community Federation. The Task Force was comprised of over 30 LGBT Jewish leaders who explored the state of interactions between Federation and its local beneficiary agencies and the gay and lesbian community. The Task Force then made recommendations to the Federation’s board of directors for integrating the LGBT and Jewish communities. The Task Force, under the chairmanship of Alvin Baum, Jr., presented the Federation’s board with a clear vision entitled, Proposal from the Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
The “single most important felt need” stated in the Proposal from the Gay and Lesbian Task Force was “that Federation recognize gays and lesbians as an identifiable group with distinct needs.” The Federation acted on this need, and in 2001 the Task Force received a grant from the Jewish Community Endowment Fund; by December 2001, the LGBT Alliance began its efforts as a full-fledged division of the Jewish Community Federation. It is the first (and currently the only) dedicated LGBT full-time staff supported division of a Federation.
