Liberal Judaism is seeking volunteers for its exciting ‘Rainbow Jews’ project, which aims to record and showcase Jewish Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) history from the 1950s to today.
Earlier this summer, Liberal Judaism received a grant of nearly £60,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund in order to document the voices and experiences of Jewish LGBT people in the UK. That money will be used to record an oral history and create an archive.
Liberal Judaism is now recruiting London-based volunteers from ALL backgrounds to help with this landmark project. All that is required is commitment of 2-3 days each month until the project is completed in 2014. Full training will be provided.
To be part of this rewarding and fun experience and make a real difference, pleased contact
‘Rainbow Jews’ Project Manager Su Rath Knan on s.knan@liberaljudaism.org before November 19.
Su says: “Here at Liberal Judaism, we see volunteering more like a skills exchange. ‘Rainbow Jews’ volunteers are going to receive professional training in archiving, oral history recording and processing, transcribing and exhibition curating.
“We offer great value – and it’s going to be a lot of fun too!“
