Welcome to Grassroots 2023! We are an independent Jewish collective created by self-inclusion and a welcoming spirit. We are of many denominations and none, and we love working out how to walk the path together.
Each year, those of us who create Grassroots Jews gather to be inspired by each other. We invest financially, and with our minds, hands and time, and we want to try to create meaningful experiences during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
Since we began in 2009, our numbers have quadrupled. New friends are always welcome - all you have to do is register.
We make space for our own diversity: On a morning at GRJ you'll likely find meditation, discussion, multi-gender partnership & egalitarian services, a kitchen crew, interactive games, installation art, discussions, kids' activities, a community-sourced potluck lunch (on RH1 & RH2) and maybe something you have up your sleeve, all nestling happily side by side.
This year, we are back with all the services, alternative sessions and glorious singing you could want! We cannot wait to see you back in person so register, sign up to volunteer and submit your sessions. We're ready for you.
This year's coordinator is Julia C and oy would she be delighted to hear from anyone who fancies getting involved with helping! Please email her at grassrootsjews@gmail.com and let her know if you'd like to be involved.
