Dear John,

We are excited to let you know about ADL’s inaugural class of
[link removed]
Collaborative for Change Fellows. These are Jews of Color who will receive grants of up to $25,000 to counter bias and hate through research, film work and other creative projects. This Fellowship seeks to expand awareness and understanding of how antisemitism and racism intersect in ways that are uniquely harmful to Jews of Color.

Jews of Color are, unfortunately, often subjected to the dual evils of racism and antisemitism. Through this Fellowship, we’re proud to provide an opportunity for Jews of Color to share their experiences and increase understanding of the unique challenges they face. This growing understanding can be an important step in reducing hate.

Inaugural Collaborative for Change Fellows

- Sara Yacobi-Harris, founder of

No Silence on Race. Her project will create a pair of curricula — one targeted at Jewish audiences and one at non-Jewish audiences — to serve as an educational supplement to a film and video series that explores the lives of multiracial and multiethnic Jews.
- Jared Chiang-Zeizel, an Asian-American Jewish freelance creative professional who produces written and video content. His project will create a documentary video exploring the lives, rituals and experiences of Asian-American Jewish clergy.
- Carmel Tanaka, founding member of the Jewpanese (people of Jewish and Japanese Heritage) community. His project will conduct oral history video interviews with Jewpanese community members in Canada, the U.S., Japan and Israel, focusing on experiences such as the intergenerational trauma of the Holocaust and Japanese internment. This content will be used to curate an online Jewpanese exhibit.
- Deitra Reiser, founder of

Transform for Equity. Her project will create learning and reflecting sessions on the connection between racism and antisemitism and will create a curriculum that can be used in other settings.
- Mitsui Collective, led by Yoshi Silverstein, is a group that aims to create vibrant, resilient, diverse and equitable Jewish communities. The

Mitsui Collective project, in conjunction with Jews of Color Kohenet Keshira HaLev Fife and Enzi Tanner, will conduct research to gain a more nuanced understanding of how racial trauma and antisemitism intersect for Jews of Color. It plans on conducting in-person research and then synthesize that to create case studies.
- Isaac de Castro, a writer and activist. His project, in conjunction with the American Sephardi Foundation (ASF) Institute of Jewish Experience, will interview people of Latino and Sephardic Jewish identities, in particular immigrants from Latin America, about their experiences, and will use this to create an online or in-person exhibit.
Each of the Fellows brings a unique set of experiences and backgrounds; you can
