Jewish Ledger First Shabbaton for Jews of color to mark ‘yahrzeit’ of George Floyd By Esther D. Kustanowitz and Asaf Shalev (JTA) – Across America, people whose lives changed when George Floyd was killed are planning to mark the one-year anniversary of his death this month. Floyd’s family is working to rebrand the date, May 25, as “Day of Enlightenment” because of how many people were awakened to issues of racial injustice. Concerts and public events will honor his legacy. And in a landmark gathering for Jews of color held last weekend, hundreds of Jews recited the Mourner’s Kaddish for Floyd.
