We aim for TELB to be the most inclusive synagogue on the south shore of Long Island. To accomplish this, we must talk about and see each other as who we are, and we must make explicit efforts to center diversity, equity and inclusion; invisibility or neutrality are not inclusive. TELB works for inclusion and equity simultaneously on the lines of gender sexuality, race, ethnicity, economics, and ability. TELB will continue to promote the representation, participation and fair treatment of all it members, potential members, and the wider community. We are committed to combating bias and hatred through institutional efforts, education, community collaboration, friendship, collective action, and compassion.
