JAQ – A Do-ocracy for Davening and Study
We are a collective of Queer Jews who want to chat, gather and discuss. This will include some torah or talmud study, a minyan, and other activities. Many of us are also members of Queer Yeshiva. This is a separate group that shares their values.

Minyans are Back
The LGBT Centre has reopened after its renovation work. There is now an accessible toilet! The Centre is located right next to Blackfriars station and has a step-free entrance.

Seder!
One of our London members is organising a potluck seder on Tuesday. Short on notice but long on community! If you haven’t been before to anything we’ve run, this would be a fun first event. Bring a small vegan dish to share, and find fellowship and Matzo with queer and leftist Jews. We do not…

From the dark side
This is our first post to instagram: We’ve joined insta! But we don’t want you to follow us here. We all saw the photos of the CEO of this platform honouring Trump. So, instead, why not follow us on a more ethical platform? See our website for more on how to do that. And if…

We’ve joined Insta, but don’t follow us There
