About

Jewish Pride NOLA’s (JP NOLA) mission is to provide information, resources, and affirmation to Louisiana’s LGBTQ+ Jewish population. We utilize our relationships with local synagogues, agencies, and other organizations to support, partner on, and promote LGBTQ+ related programming, events, and opportunities. JP NOLA participates in LGBTQ+ advocacy and is the central resource for Jewish LGBTQ+ activities in Greater New Orleans.

JP NOLA is a program of the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans. We have over 100 LGBTQ+ members and offer a variety of social, educational, religious and advocacy programs throughout the year. Our leadership is engaged in the local Jewish community and we receive tremendous support from our local synagogues and institutions.
