Another Voice for Jews of Color
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the only Jew of Color in the world, even if I happen to be the only Jew of Color many of my friends know or come in contact with on a daily basis. Every now and again, it's nice to lay down the mantle and let someone else fight the good fight for representation. So it was just incredible to stumble upon an article in The Forward that showcased another voice for Jews of color.
