National Union of Jewish LGBT Students Conference 2008 at Columbia University
In less than TWO WEEKS, on February 8-10, Columbia University is hosting the annual NUJLS (National Union of Jewish LGBTQQI Students) Conference. The NUJLS conference is an amazing weekend for LGBTQQI Jewish students from around the world to gather in New York City in what has proven to be a breakthrough year in the Queer and American Jewish Community!
NUJLS, the only North American organization dedicated to LGBTQQI Jewish students, holds an annual conference bringing together gay Jews from all segments of the Jewish community & around the world for a weekend of good times. It is open to all LGBTQQI Jewish students and young Jews of all stripes!
The world around us is changing and its effects in our political, religious, and personal lives are far-reaching. This year’s NUJLS conference seeks to explore the changes in our world- both globally and within ourselves.
This year, more than any in recent memory, serves as an opportunity to confront what these changes mean to each one of us no matter how we identify in either the LGBTQQI or the Jewish community. NUJLS 2008: A Time of Change, seeks to put forth a relevant, vibrant, and contemporary conference in which participants will embrace and explore, personally and communally, the changes our world has presented us and the changes we choose to present to our world.
Cost: $60 with large amounts of scholarship funding available!
The conference is strictly kosher and respects diverse observances of Shabbat and davening (prayer services).
Shomer Shabbat options and traditional davening will be celebrated throughout the weekend.
