Tzedek Lab Network Gathering: May 4-8, 2026
In May 2026 we will gather for a virtual Network Gathering with regional meetups. We will connect as a full network,root in with local TL pals, explore the big questions that are up for us as Jewish Left practitioners in 2026, and scheme and dream about how we can move our collectives forward, together!
The Gathering will be online, with member-organized regional and local meetups.
-
As a community of practitioners, we debrief action, training, leading and mobilization moments, cross-pollinate and learn from each other’s experiments, explore new connections and partnerships, and strategize together. We dig into analysis, sharing insight about intersections and impacts of white supremacy, antisemitism, racism, and Islamophobia in the US and Israel/Palestine. We wrestle with barriers to building trust with one another and our allies, and invest in each other as family in this work.
We are excited to bring together a mix of returning members along with a solid crew of new members.
If you've been waiting to join or to invite people to join, now is the time!
New Member applications open November 24 and are due December 14, 2025.

The Network Gathering May 4-8 will take place online.
To facilitate local connection, we will support members in each regional hub to organize a local meet-up around the virtual Gathering in the shape that works for their region. This means finding a meeting place or hosting plan that makes sense for their group, depending on the group size and the local context and resources available. Everyone is encouraged to attend both the virtual Gathering for the whole network as well as their local meet-up. More details to come!
