Gratitude Thursday: POC Affinity Space

“Gratitude Thursdays” are gatherings modeled after an event called First Fridays (various public events that are planned in cities on the first Friday of the month). These spaces are designed to allow people who self-identify as Jews of Color and/or People of Color a space for relationship-building, reflection and rejuvenation. We will have guest speakers from time to time, discuss books/poetry, hangout and even dance a little. *Feel free to pop-in for just a little while or join for the whole time – either way, we’d love to see/meet you!

*We realize People of Color “POC”/Jews of Color "JOC" are not a monolith and that that term isn’t always a useful word to describe oneself. We also realize not all POC/JOC identify as People of Color, and that not all POC use that term.
