GLOE
Overview
The Kurlander Program for GLBTQ Outreach & Engagement connecting LGBTQIA Jews at the Edlavitch DCJCC.
GLOE, the first and only full-time LGBTQIA engagement program at any Jewish Community Center in the world, serves DC’s queer Jewish community (and our friends/allies) through an array of unique and meaningful programs in the areas of arts and culture, community service, holidays and spirituality, social justice, and of course, social events.
Whether your Jewish identity involves creating new LGBTQIA rituals, or if it starts and ends with a bagel at brunch, you’ll fit right in at GLOE.
WorldPride 2025
The EDCJCC is proud to celebrate WorldPride and uplift and support diverse queer communities within our Center, our geographic area, and in response to the specific needs of the DC community.
Grounded in WorldPride’s mission of visibility, inclusion, and advocacy, our programming explores the intersection of Jewish and queer identities through art, storytelling, and community gatherings for individuals of all backgrounds.
