CJJ members are privileged to be in community with the students and teachers at SVARA, a traditionally radical yeshiva which you can learn more about at this link. SVARA's mission is to empower queer and trans people to expand Torah and tradition through the spiritual practice of Talmud study. They have shared these community offerings to us:
