Little Birds Walk the Park-Feb 27.png

Last Sunday afternoons of each month. These are chill small group get-togethers: ways for us to mix and mingle and check out Jewish architecture past and present, outdoors and get some steps in. Justin’s put together some walks for us already, what do you think? Can you help us make meaningful connections to find points-of-contact so we can get these together?

Join JPride’s Meetup Group for informal walks around town!

Every last Sunday of the month. This February 23, sign up on Meetup!!! Let's meet up at the street corner of Auchentoroly Terrace beside Third Space at Shaarei Tfiloh, to walk through the park together.

Each walk will begin at a Jewish community center past or present, and expand to an adjacent park.

This is a group walk with the Beth Am Rainbow Circle. We get a little exercise, we can chat, maybe end at a café? People would want hot chocolate in the winter and iced tea in the summer. Little birds is a Yiddish reference, if you know you know! All affirming folks are welcome.
