Caring for Ourselves While We Care About the World: Towards Individual and Communal JCOGS Action (via Zoom) Tuesday, Feb 4, 5:45pm-7:00pm
From Tu B'Shvat to Purim: Taking action and getting beyond the masks Among the topics, we will focus on LGBTQIA+ awareness, its connection to the themes of Purim, and ways we can create a more inclusive and equitable community. We welcome and encourage everyone, including those from the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to join us in this conversation.
Tu B’Shvat and Environmental Action If you’re passionate about environmentally-focused Tikkun Olam efforts, we’d love to hear from you! We are ready to bring the ideas brainstormed from January’s “Caring for Ourselves While We Care About the World” gathering into action. Email jcogs@jcogs.org
