The Art of Gathering Jewishly: Building and Sustaining Grassroots Community Groups in the South

Monday June 22, 2026 4:15pm - 5:15pm EDT

Tyvola

So much of our work in Jewish communal life involves hosting events and gatherings—but how do we do that in a way that feels natural, welcomes all aspects of peoples' identities, and lasts beyond when the chairs are stacked and the trash is taken out? Informed by our decades of work building queer and Jewish communities in the South, SOJOURN will host an interactive workshop all about the art of hosting big-tent events in service of building meaningful community.
