  • 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. As the days get cooler and shorter, we bring our own lights into the darkness. Come connect with other queer Jews to daven or just to…

  • 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…

  • This Tuesday: Pray and Pub!

    Chag sameah, comrades! We are going to carry this joyous Purim / Adar energy into Tuesday evening with prayer and pub! We’ll have a ma’ariv service with snacks 7-8 at the LGBT+ Centre and then head to the closest pub afterwards. (See more: https://jaq.blessing.exchange/event/maariv-3/ ) Please invite your friends! This is a lovely way to…

  • Start Your Day with Some Blessing and Community

    We now have a calendar that you can subscribe to via your phone or favourite calendar app. (The LGBTQ+ Centre’s calendar is slightly wonky and is missing a few dates). Our next minyan is tomorrow, 11 February, bright and early. Come start your day with blessings! https://jaq.blessing.exchange/events

  • New Minyan Times

    By popular demand, we’re experimenting with some different time slots for our London-based Weekday Minyan. Our next minyan will be a maariv, on Tuesday 4 February. If you’ve never been before, you’re very welcome, but please book so we know to look out for you. Future February dates and times aren’t yet fixed, but we’ll…

  • 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…

  • How to Join Mastodon

    Mastodon is a text-first way of accessing the fediverse. You can read more about what that is and why you might care here. (This used to be part of that post, but we’ve split it off to make this more manageable.) With Mastodon, you can post images, videos and audio, but the interface emphasises text.…

  • How to Join Pixelfed

    Pixelfed is an image-first way of accessing the fediverse. You can read more about what that is and why you might care here. We’re going to cover up how to sign up a phone, but the interface via a laptop or other computer is virtually identical, so everyone can follow along. pix.lgbt is a Pixelfed…

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

    We’ve all seen the pictures from Trump’s inauguration – Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram; stood in the front row. And of Musk giving a Nazi salute. The CEO of TikTok was not in those pictures, but he was also there. It seems like every corporate social…
