SOJOURN facilitates Jewish and queer community spaces and organizes Jewish participation in Pride events, building celebratory, joyful spaces for those who need them most.
Queer, Jewish young adults need spaces to gather and build community! Through holiday gatherings, text study and discussion, and opportunities to serve others, QueerHillah aims to bring queer Jews in their 20s/30s together for monthly programs that are fun, meaningful, social, spiritual and acts of service.
The QueerHillah pilot is currently taking place in Atlanta, with the intention of bringing this model to other Southern cities. We’re so excited by the community and growth we’ve seen so far!
