What folks are saying about Detroit Jews for Justice

Offering a pathway...

"My heart is full with the injustice that I see in the world around me. Detroit Jews for Justice is asking all of the questions that my heart yearns to grapple with and offering a pathway towards action. DJJ has brought me into a community that I had dreamed of, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to gather with loved ones and spiritual comrades, to actually demonstrate that another world is possible."  - Nora, 27

Jewish identity can be a vehicle...

I keep thinking how glad I am that I brought my kids to the gathering. Since our family is not affiliated, allof the Jewish experiences they've had have been in private homes. Now they know that Jewish identity can be a vehicle for broader moral connection to the world. - Tova, 44

The most nourishing...

Feeling blessed to be a part of an intentional Jewish community that seeks to use ritual and Jewish identity to stand in solidarity with the #blacklivesmatter movement. Easily the most nourishing Chanukah gathering I have ever experienced. - Sharon, 28 

Creating sparks...

What a blessing that the Detroit Jewish Community has an organization that is helping us to raise our singular voices to a collective roar. The light we created when we stood together this Hanukkah to say #BlackLivesMatter was a bright reminder of the kind of sparks we're creating when we bring our lights together in solidarity and in struggle. - Blair, 29

Long overdue...

Detroit Jews for Justice is an initiative whose development is long overdue in this Detroit Jewish community.  I am eager to join in on the change work DJJ will provide to us diverse and dispersed individuals of progressive, spiritual minds.  - Carly, 26
