The Salon is an opportunity for thoughtful Jewish learners to exchange ideas in an intimate home setting

Course Description :

The goal of the salon is to build a vibrant community of LGBTQ+ Jewish learners who feel connected, informed, and empowered to explore some of the most meaningful and complex questions facing Jewish communities today.

 

Before each salon, participants will receive a thoughtfully selected article exploring an issue of significance to contemporary Jewish life. Together, we will unpack, discuss, and respectfully engage with the ideas it raises in a welcoming, affirming, and intellectually curious environment for LGBTQ+ Jewish adults.
