2018 was big for us! Here's a taste of all we accomplished. It couldn't have been done without the crucial support of hundreds of donors (such as yourself!)

Please join us for pizza and good company as we write thank you cards to some of our most generous supporters from last year. Please RSVP below so we can order the right number of slices.

The DJJ Purim spiel is a punchy and passionate short play written and put on by members of our grassroots community. As we wear costumes to amp up the absurdity, dance, & nosh hamentaschen (eat little triangle-shaped cookies representing fertility, & in our analysis femme power), we DJJ - Do Justice Jewishly. 

Wear a costume for our costume contest and bring your friends of all ages!

"What's a Purim?"

Mazel Tov ("congratulations")! If you're asking, this means you're on the cusp of spending your first Purim with DJJ! Purim is a Jewish holiday which derives from a story. DJJ leaders Roz Schindler and Jake Ehrlich collaborated on a blog to explain. The video below is from 2017's Purim festivities, created by Natasha Tamate Weiss.
