Suggestions were shared on sensitivity and tolerance, including Kaczander's rec- ommendation to teach children to "let each person's dignity be as important as your own" and Faber's reminder that much of what children learn from par- ents comes not just from words, but from actions and behavior. "Don't take it for granted that some- one else will talk about it," Greenapple said about HIV and AIDS. Fogelman was struck by Rabbi Kamin's advice that kids need ample time to talk to their parents. "He said what all families need to do is sit down to dinner every night," Fogelman said. "Kids don't get enough time when you just talk to them while driving from soc- cer practice to piano lessons." Lists of resources were provided, including referral to the Anti-Defamation League's Web site wwwadl.org , for sug- gestions on how to talk to children abut diversity, discrimination and prejudice. Michelle and Steve Passon of White Lake Township, founders in 1998 of the Kulanu Committee, chaired the pro- gram. "The Valuing Diversity program is a result of the Kulanu Committee's decision to work to include all Jews who wish to participate in Jewish life," Michelle Passon said. "It is our hope to help adults and children become more comfortable talking about all issues of diversity, resulting in a more inclusive, thoughtful and respectful community." ❑ Relax!
