Queer Jewish Professionals - April
SOJOURN's Queer Jewish Professionals group will have its next Zoom call at 6 PM ET/5 PM CT on Tuesday, April 22! The Queer Jewish Professionals Call is an intentional space created for employees at Jewish organizations who can benefit from the chance to connect, share freely, speak directly, and receive support from other LGBTQ+ peers across the South. Our goal is for the Queer Jewish Professionals Call to be an affirming, supportive place for learning, sharing information, and strengthening connections. Register here!
NOTE – This is a For Us/By Us space for LGBTQ+-identifying folks ONLY. The call is facilitated by SOJOURN staff dedicated to hosting a safe, nonjudgmental space.
Upcoming Queer Jewish Professionals dates include: May 28, June 25, July 23, & August 27.
Lighting the Way: Virtual Candle Lighting
Please join us in a gesture of lighting the way on April 27, 2025 at 7 PM ET/6 PM CT for a brief and meaningful virtual candle lighting gathering.
SOJOURN is currently engaged in our largest fundraising effort - our Lighting the Way Annual Giving Campaign. At SOJOURN, we believe giving is powerful and empowering. Because of your support of this campaign, SOJOURN will defend trans and LGBQ+ people, encourage Jewish organizations to demonstrate what it means to be an engaged partner in LGBTQ+ allyship, and lead legislative advocacy efforts across the South. No matter what this year brings, we are committed to creating deep connections for our LGBTQ plus family members and tools for understanding and advocacy for our allies.
Bring a candle and let’s light the way together. SOJOURN will deliver a custom Lighting The Way matchbook to all who RSVP! Register here.
