Bari Mattes is an independent strategic consultant working with non-profit and political organizations whose work is consistent with her personal mission of leaving the world a better place than she found it. In addition to lending her expertise to JewBelong, Bari also serves on the Board of Trustees at the Vera Institute of Justice and on the Board of Mentor Newark. Bari lives in Newark, NJ with a Westie named Maddie who – swear to God – thinks she’s a person. In addition to making the world a better place, Bari tries to make it a sweeter place too — she bakes as her own form of therapy and makes Passover desserts so good you’d want to eat them all year round.

At JewBelong, we focus on what we call The Big Four Holidays (Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah) plus Shabbat. Each holiday section includes a pretty fantastic booklet that you can print out

lifecycle
We tend to need religion more when facing a lifecycle moment because that is when we like to, no scratch that, that is when we need to feel connected to something bigger than us, and to know that we belong to a community….
- Antisemitism
Antisemitism
Antisemitism is hate and hostility towards Jews. It’s racism. It’s been around for thousands of years, (because Jews have been around for thousands of years) but based on current events, antisemitism is growing in the US and in Europe, which is scary AF.
