GLOE
Overview
The Kurlander Program for GLBTQ Outreach & Engagement connecting LGBTQ+ Jews at the Edlavitch DCJCC.
GLOE, one of the first LGBTQ+ engagement programs at a JCC, serves DC’s queer Jewish community and our friends and allies. From arts and culture to Shabbat dinners, drag shows to social justice, GLOE brings people together in all the ways that matter.
Join us in building a community rooted in connection and belonging that feels like home.
