Shulayim L’Shalom

Shulayim L’Shalom (From Margins to Peace) is a Jewish youth group for teens ages 12 – 18! We welcome Jewish youth with diverse backgrounds and identities. At Shulayim L’Shalom, we celebrate the richness of our participants’ varied beliefs, economic statuses, races, sexualities and genders. The passions, curiosities and needs of our participants guide the content of our programming. We specifically uplift the unique needs of LGBTQ+ Jewish youth and their allies. In our curriculum, we emphasize the values of B’aima (spiritual awe), Nosay B’ol Im Chavayro (sharing the burden with one’s friends) and Shmirat HaGuf (caring for the body). With these values as an inspiration, we explore concepts of religious practice, community building, social justice and maintaining positive mental and physical health. We host monthly events that include social activities, educational discussions, field trips, panel discussions and holiday celebrations.
