Share your story and help make one of Rachel Wood's dreams a reality!

As the Inclusion Specialist and founding member of the Inclusion Committee, and in her loving interactions with every person she encountered, Rachel Wood embodied connectedness and belonging here at CEC.

Before her death, Rachel and the Inclusion Committee were preparing to create a highlight reel celebrating all the ways we manifest inclusivity. To that end, we are collecting video and photo submissions illustrating the ways CEC does inclusion right.

We want to hear YOUR inclusion story! Inclusion means different things to different people and all perspectives are valued and welcome. For example (though by no means an exhaustive list): 
- Do you feel as a member of the LGBTQ+ community that you can be your whole self here?
- Does live captioning help you engage spiritually in our services?
- Do you feel as a person of color that you and your voice are valued here?
- Did our inclusive religious school practices help you or your child become B’nai Mitzvah?
- Do you feel as a Jewish-adjacent person that you belong here just like your Jewish friends and family do?

Whatever inclusion means to you, tell us how we showed you that you belong at CEC.

If you are interested in participating or want more information about this opportunity, please fill out this questionnaire by Sunday, September 22, and a member of the Inclusion Committee will reach out to you directly.

Thank you for being part of this community and helping us capture and preserve Rachel’s legacy. We look forward to hearing from you.
