Queer Jewish Student Retreat 2013

Come get your Queer Jew on at Nehirim’s Queer Jewish Student Retreat!

Join 80–100 LGBTQ Jewish students, plus friends and allies, for a weekend of fun, learning, connection, and Judaism. The NQJSR is directed by Ethan Sobel, Alex Kaufman, and Rachel Stein — all current students. It is a participatory, inclusive space that welcomes Super Jews, atheists, allies — and YOU. The program includes relevant workshops, inspiring services, evening activities, and plenty of chill time. It’s presented by Nehirim, a national LGBT Jewish community, and cosponsored by Keshet and NUJLS, the National Union of Jewish LGBTQ Students.
