As LGBTQ Jewish people, we have often been put in situations where we need to create our own ways of persevering through tough moments. Surviving and thriving in this world has pushed us to create our own store of unique wisdom about resilience, joy, and community.

Join us for a weekly series of thoughtful conversations with LGBTQ Jews about what sustains us and keeps us hopeful.

These pre-recorded conversations will be  available on Facebook and YouTube.

This week, we will be speaking to Darren Sukonick.
