B'Kavod, or with respect, is a non-profit community initiative to help Jewish institutions and all who work, learn or worship at them develop cultures of safety, respect and fairness.
Our certified trainers are available to work with your staff and board, offering legally compliant training to supervisors, employees, volunteers and organizational leadership. This program has been developed specifically for Jewish communal organizations and covers interactions among all stakeholders: staff, board, volunteers, interns, donors, congregants and program participants. Our trainers are certified and supported by Fran Sepler, designer of the EEOC Safe Respectful Workplace program.

Do you work, volunteer, or participate in the Jewish community? Do you believe you’ve experienced or witnessed harassment or other gender-identity-based misconduct in a Jewish communal context, whether as an employee, a student, a volunteer, a congregant, a program participant or any other role? Our Infoline can provide basic information and assistance from a Jewish communal professional trained in harassment prevention with counseling experience.

Our community reporting system collects information - anonymously and confidentially - about harassment and misconduct related to Jewish communal institutions. That information is reviewed and if action is needed it is taken. To make a report go to BeKavod.org/reporting
