NUJLS is the National Union of Jewish Lesbaian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and
Intersex Students. NUJLS was founded in 1997 by a small but dedicated group of thirty students. In the ten
years since then NUJLS has held a national conference each year a different university around the United
States and reached more than 750 students. These conferences feature speakers, text study, and workshops on topics
such as Judaism and queerness, activism, relationships, ethics, coming out, and politics, as well as providing
an opportunity for students to build community, network, and practice Judaism in a queer context.
NUJLS welcomes Jews of all backgrounds and practices from Orthodox to Renewal, from those just beginning their conversion process
to those born Jewish.
Starting in 2007 NUJLS also offers a small grant and training program for queer Jewish students organizing on their campus,
beginning queer Jewish student groups, or existing student groups.
NUJLS also offers ally trainings for those in the Jewish and queer communities who work with students. Trainings
range from one and a half hour introductions to queer Jewish issues to four part trainings which provide in depth
education on queer Jewish issues as well as connecting educators with others begining the learning process.
