This event is organized by Making Mensches, Ayelet Cartolina, and Leilah Feinstein.

Queer Mikveh Project: Full Moon Mikveh ~ Tammuz Grief Circle
RSVP FOR EVENT HERE
Sunday, July 21, 2024
4pm-5:30pm PST / 7pm-8:30pm EST
”Join Queer Mikveh Project for our first Full Moon Mikveh; a monthly gathering to soften, heal, build community and strengthen collective resilience through somatic grounding, creative expression, ritual and connection.
This month we'll gather with the fullness of the Tammuz moon. Tammuz -- the month where the sun shines its brightest -- where our ancestors lived in the precarity of the unknown -- will the sun burn up all our crops? Will we grow enough food to survive the winter? Will we grow enough collective power to survive climate chaos?
This Tammuz we are present with the precarity that the people of Gaza have been living in for the past nine months. As we open to grief for the unfathomable loss and suffering, we will join together to express our grief and our longing for communion. We will transmute our grief into spiritual and material support for the people of Palestine. We will generate blessings for protection, and mutual aid towards surviving the precarity of Israel-made famine.
We will gather two days before 17 Tammuz, a fast day commemorating the breach of the walls of Jerusalem before the destruction of the Second Temple. 17 Tammuz marks the beginning of the three week mourning period leading up to Tisha B'Av. In this community, we refuse to exceptionalize our ancestral trauma. We refuse to exceptionalize our grief. We mourn and heal and build together in the spirit of collective liberation for all people.
ASL interpretation will be provided.”

Conversation with Evan Cole
🥁🥁 Drum roll, please! 🥁🥁
We’re so excited to introduce our first guest for our August series of conversations with fellow anti-zionist Jews, Evan Cole! 🥳
Evan will be joining us this Thursday evening to talk with us so make sure to join the IG live or listen to the podcast 📲
Evan shared:
“Like many Jewish-Americans, I was a zionist who didn’t really think much of it throughout my upbringing. I began questioning the fundamental legitimacy of israel during the forced evictions in Shiekh Jarrah in early 2021 then really began to do the reading after israel’s siege on Gaza in May 2021, arriving where I’m at now.”
See y’all on Thursday!
