Secure your spot and be part of a unique Shabbat experience that champions diversity, unity, and empowerment. Bring your friends and allies as we come together for an unforgettable evening of love and celebration!

JQ International is excited to host an uplifting celebration of Queer Jews of Color & their allies dedicated to honoring and embracing the diverse identities within our community. This gathering is a platform to recognize and celebrate the unique experiences, perspectives, and contributions of queer individuals who identify as Jews of Color. Per the Jews of Color Initiative, “‘Jews of Color’ is a broad term that refers to Jews who are People of Color of many racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. There is no single definition of Jews of Color, and the concept itself is still evolving.” The term “Jews of Color’‘ includes (but is not limited to) Jews who identify as Black, African-American, Native, Asian, Latine, Mizrakhi, Sephardic, and more.

They also extend a warm invitation to all allies who share in their commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and unity. Your presence as an ally is not only welcomed but crucial in creating a space where diversity is celebrated, and everyone can feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, let’s build bridges of support, love, and understanding within our beautifully diverse community.

Tickets are available for purchase up until 10pm, on Thursday, February 8th. No tickets will be sold at the door. The exact address will be provided upon ticket purchase.
