Please join us for an early Chanukah party AND for a send off celebration of our beloved Josh Orol as they prepare to venture off on new adventures! This will be a great opportunity to connect with old friends and new, hear more about ways you can take powerful action with CJJ this coming year, and spin a dreidel with your CJJ-Wake County community!

At Carolina Jews for Justice, we ground ourselves in the ancient traditions of our people — this grounding makes us stronger and better advocates for justice. With that in mind, we will be observing one of the most sacred traditions of Judaism together on December 25th... going out for Chinese food on Christmas! We know that the modern Jewish family looks many different ways, and that a lot of our CJJ folks will be celebrating Christmas with family & friends. We also know a lot of us will *not* be doing that and would like to gather with community during a day that can feel a little weird for Jews! Please join us as we feast the mid morning away on Dim Sum.

Join us to Meet New Friends and Help Build Community!

Begin the New Year by gathering for the annual meeting of CJJ-West on Sunday, January 5, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Congregation Beth HaTephila, 43 N. Liberty Street in Asheville. 

Learn about the many issues and projects that we are working on, as well as a preview of our plans for 2020.  It’s a great way to get connected to CJJ-West, meet new friends, and help make a difference in our community.

Please let us know you are coming by RSVP'ing here. You can also check for updates on our Facebook event. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out: cjjwest@carolinajewsforjustice.org.

Pursuing Justice 2020 is the largest national gathering of progressive Jews working for social, racial, and economic justice in the U.S. The conference will bring together over 1,000 activists and organizers for three days of learning, connecting, and taking action. If you are ready to be part of a powerful community informed by the long Jewish legacy of pursuing racial and economic justice, we want you to join us. 

CJJ is proud to be a participating organization, and we're excited to have a strong North Carolina contingent in DC with us! Please connect with cole@carolinajewsforjustice.org if you're interested in attending (they have a special registration code for CJJ folks, and will be coordinating carpools and shared housing options closer to the event).
