About the event
Join SOJOURN on November 11 for the first ever Jewish Professionals for Rainbow Youth (JPRY) Summit! This summit is intended for professionals who work with youth in a Jewish setting. JPRY will highlight the ways that teachers and youth-facing staff can create supportive environments and respond to the needs of LGBTQ+ youth in their Jewish communities, with a focus on those working with trans and non-binary youth.
This gathering is a call to action for Jewish professionals—rabbis, educators, therapists, youth workers, and communal leaders—to show up with courage, compassion, and clarity for queer Jewish youth. Rooted in the sacred principle of pikuach nefesh—the obligation to preserve life—this conference centers the voices and needs of LGBTQ+ Jewish young people and equips professionals to be their fiercest allies and advocates.
The summit will take place from 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM in Sandy Springs, GA. Location details will be sent to participants…
