The Open Yad Project is a community of Jewish and Jew-curious young adults who aim to provide a safe, supportive, and joyous space for mutual celebration and personal growth through a Jewish lens. We are rooted in an affirmation of queer and diverse identities.
 

We usually host at least one event a month. This is a low-key way for Jews, Jew-ish people, those who are Jew-curious, and those who love and support us to come together. Many events are social and cultural, though keep an eye out for events that sprinkle in Jewish practice and ritual in fun and accessible ways!
 
You'll also find members of Open Yad at community-wide Kol Ami events, from weekly Shabbat services to social gatherings to holiday and simcha celebrations.  So make sure to keep up to date with the congregation's calendar as well.
 
Open Yad events are open to all adults in their 20s and 30s. You do not have to be a member of Kol Ami to attend.

    Open Yad’s Latkes and Libations

    Sunday, Dec 10th 6:00p to 9:00p
    Join the Open Yad Project for an evening of latkes and libations at Evin and Leonard’s apartment in Studio City. Celebrate the 4th night of chanukah amidst the warm glow of chanukah candles, good friends, and a signature cocktail (Vote on Instagram @OpenYadProject to help us pick!). Together we’ll light the menorah, savor fresh latkes, and spin the dreidel for a chance to win chocolate gelt. Festive sweaters not required but definitely encouraged!
