Queer Jewish Pros July
SOJOURN's Queer Jewish Professionals group will have its next Zoom call at 6 PM ET/5 PM CT on Wednesday, July 23! 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 at bit.ly/QueerJewishProsJuly!
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.
July Virtual Candle Lighting
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.
Please join us in a gesture of lighting the way on July 27, 2025 at 7 PM ET/6 PM CT for a brief and meaningful virtual candle lighting gathering ahead of Tu B'Av, the Jewish holiday of LOVE!
Bring a candle and let’s light the way together! Register here.
