About Tribe 12
Tribe 12 connects people in their 20s/30s to Jewish life and community in Philadelphia today so they will choose to stay connected tomorrow.
Tribe 12 welcomes all people who identify as Jewish, whose partners are Jewish, and those who are exploring Judaism, regardless of Jewish knowledge or experience. We encourage everyone, Jewish and beyond, to participate in the creation and performance of the cultural rituals we share.
We commit to creating a space that celebrates the many gender identities and expressions, sexualities, religious practices, ethnic and multi-ethnic identities, racial and multi-racial identities, disabilities, and financial circumstances that make up our Jewish community.
