About

About

During the last Academy edition, Keshet Europe has gathered for a unique retreat in Marsuria, Poland. Ten participants have come together under one roof to celebrate Hannukkah, connect, and imagine new possibilities for our communities.

Over several days, the location has become a space of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. Through workshops, role-play, and shared rituals, we have illuminated the intersections of Jewish and queer life in Europe. With ten selected participants embodying the diversity of our networks, this retreat is both a laboratory for ideas and a celebration of resilience and community.
