Cultural Humility: Learning about Passover

Jewish people are part of the rich tapestry of ethnicities and cultures that make up the United States, and while many may be familiar with aspects of Jewish culture, many may not be as aware of Jewish holidays, or why observing, celebrating, and participating in them is so important. Host Jennie Brooks sits down with Jill Mizrachy, Director of Career & Leadership Development at Booz Allen, to learn more about Pesach (which non-Jewish people may know as “Passover”), the concept of tikkun olam (the idea of leaving the world better than we found it), and how becoming more familiar with Jewish cultures can help us to challenge our own assumptions to foster greater inclusion and belonging in our workplaces.
