Our Mission

Strengthening and celebrating the lives of LGBTQ Jews and allies.

Who We Are

Established in 2004, JQ is the premiere LGBTQ Jewish organization in Los Angeles. JQ celebrates the lives of LGBTQ Jews and their allies by transforming Jewish communities and ensuring inclusion through education, support, and identity-enrichment. From Shabbat dinners to holiday gatherings to educational panels to inclusion training for institutions, JQ’s community engagement and identity-enriching programs and support services promote the healthy integration of LGBTQ and Jewish identities. JQ envisions a world where all LGBTQ Jews feel a strong sense of self, pride, and community – a place where LGBTQ Jews and their allies are supported by communities that embrace their needs and celebrate their unique gifts.
