Who We Are
S.A.Y. What? was convened with a grant from the Ford Foundation to the National Council of Jewish Women. The purpose of the Grant was to build coalitions of progressive faith-based organizations and other stakeholders in the community to take action to get our community to provide comprehensive, medically accurate sex education for local public schools.
Why We Care
As faith communities, we advocate for sexual and spiritual wholeness in society, and call for lifelong, age-appropriate sexuality education in schools, seminaries and community settings.

A Divine Blessing
Religious traditions affirm that sexuality is a divinely bestowed blessing for expressing love and generating life, for mutual companionship and pleasure. It is also capable of misuse, leading to exploitation, abuse, and suffering. Sexuality, from a religious point of view, needs to be celebrated with joy, holiness, and integrity, but it also demands understanding, respect, and self-discipline. Our traditions affirm the goodness of creation, our bodies, and our sexuality; we are called to stewardship of these gifts.
