"I love being a part of QJAB because it gives me a space to openly celebrate and live in all of my identities. I find that no one else quite understands my experience as well as other queer Jews, because the intersection of those identities is so important and specific. Especially when I don’t necessarily want to or feel comfortable uplifting my Jewish identity in queer spaces or my queer identity in Jewish spaces, it’s so great to have a community where I can talk about how those things relate to each other and be fully in both of them" - Member of QJAB
