Mishpacha Rising Collective is a JoC-led initiative based in Richmond, Virginia, creating accessible and affirming spaces for Jews of Color, with a particular focus on queer and neurodivergent JoC. Through local gatherings and national online programming, the Collective will offer Jewish learning, art, ritual, and community-building that centers intersectional Jewish experiences. Its inaugural programming includes a virtual learning series, practitioner-led offerings, and gatherings designed to build connection across diverse Jewish identities and strengthen JoC leadership in the South.
