GEWS
LGBTQ+ Jewish Youth Group
Two of our youth group facilitators, Noah (they/them) & Ollie (he/him), in the aftermath of a GEWS craft activity!
GEWS, SOJOURN's Atlanta-based LGBTQ+ and Jewish youth group, offers monthly events and opportunities for our youth to explore their queer and Jewish identities, connect with others, and embrace their uniqueness. For future dates and information, please fill out the interest form at bit.ly/SOJOURNYouth, and be sure to check back at our website for GEWS next big adventures!
QueerHillah
Collaborative gathering spaces for queer Jews in their 20s/30s
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 fun, meaningful monthly programming.
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!
QueerHillah Atlanta programming is a collaboration between SOJOURN, Repair the World Atlanta, Ma'alot, and OneTable Atlanta. These events are made possible by NextGen Atlanta and Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta's Gather Grants.
