Stories are integral to the Jewish experience and to the queer experience. Stories help us understand ourselves, understand where we’ve been, and understand where we’re going. Language can be tremendously empowering, to connect with others, build support, and find community.

Join LGBTQIA+ Tribe Leader Jess Meyers (she/they), Class of 2023 Fellow Lex Horwitz (they/them), and Rabbi Megan GoldMarche (she/her), as we gather our LGBTQIA+ community together on Zoom to share our stories. Whether you’re completely sure of your identities or still questioning, there’s always space to open up doors, gain new understanding, and learn more intersectional allyship for other members of the community with different identities from our own.

Come ready to share, or just come ready to listen. There will be no pressure to speak. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and an open heart, free from judgment and preconceived notions. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions or accessibility requests.
