What: Radical Jewish Calendar 5783. Organized by Jewish month, layering Jewish & Gregorian dates. Living in Jewish time, learning Jewish history.
The Radical Jewish Calendar is a celebration of Jewish culture that is intersectional, queer, feminist, anti-racist, and that challenges and builds a Judaism and Jewishness beyond Zionism. You’re invited to tell us about your experiences and identities, in line with our commitments to celebrating the depth, breadth and diversity of Jewish experiences.

Captures a moment in radical~Jewish history (expansive definitions of both)
Shows a movement, trend, idea within/adjacent/important to radical Jewish life (ie. solidarity, resistance, feminism, etc, etc til forever)
Portrait of a person, teacher, elder, movement leader
Some other rad thing you think of!
