As one of the oldest Jewish institutions in Oklahoma, B’nai Emunah is a self-confident religious center committed to constant experimentation. What a newcomer is likely to notice first is the sense of forward movement. That, and a prevailing pattern of warmth, generosity, and inclusiveness. There is no preoccupation with governance or policy-making, but rather a pattern of holistic acceptance. B’nai Emunah welcomes individuals and families in the process of defining a Jewish style that brings meaning, richness, and joy. Interfaith families and Jews by Choice are essential parts of the community and B’nai Emunah is eager to offer welcome and home. There is a conscious commitment to making newcomers feel affirmed and valued. As a progressive congregation affiliated with United Synagogue, B’nai Emunah is in the midst of continuing self-renewal.

Chabad-Lubavitch is a major movement within mainstream Jewish tradition with its roots in the Chassidic movement of the 18th century. In Czarist and Communist Russia, the leaders of Chabad led the struggle for the survival of Torah Judaism, often facing imprisonment and relentless persecution for their activities. After the Holocaust, under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson and his successor, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, Chabad became a worldwide movement, caring for the spiritual and material needs of all Jews, wherever they could be found. Today, over 3,500 Chabad institutions are located in more than 100 countries, with a new center opening on average every ten days. In South Africa, South America, Russia, Australia, Asia, the UK, and many parts of the USA, Chabad has become the most dynamic and dominant force within the Jewish community.

Oklahoma Holocaust Legislation Coalition

In 2022, the Oklahoma Legislature passed Senate Bill 1671, making Holocaust education available to all Oklahoma school students in grades 6-12. In response, the SB1671 Oklahoma Holocaust Legislation Coalition was founded. This body is composed of state legislators (all former teachers), consultants from the Oklahoma Department of Education, and volunteers who share the responsibility to carry out the mission and terms of SB1671. The mission is to “Fight Hate, Respect Diversity, Protect Democracy, and Teach these lessons to future generations through study of the Holocaust.” This is addressed by hosting in-person FREE Holocaust Educator conferences throughout Oklahoma, offering in-class presentations, creating a Retired Holocaust Educators’ Initiative, and a Teacher Appreciation Incentive Program, which includes an all-expenses paid trip for selected Holocaust Educators to Washington DC to visit the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Museum of the American Indian.

We host candidates through solo, personalized visits and cohort-style group trips. Some people prefer a one-on-one experience where we tailor the visit around their interests. Others enjoy traveling with a small group of others, exploring Tulsa together, and sharing the experience as a cohort. Both approaches offer something unique, and both are designed to give an authentic view of the city.
