Detroit tribefest

Again, not the same as being there, but a great way to document and show what was happening. Also, a fantastic tribute to the hard work and dedication that Rachel Wright put into being the co-chair of the event was the hashtag that was created ThousandRachelMarch. One very interesting topic I am looking forward to discussing with my friends who were there is the LGBT and interfaith conversations that happened. From the tweets, I was able to see there were conversations surrounding the issue and the question is: Is there a place in the room for the LGBT and interfaith communities at TribeFest?

I would hope so, but I need to talk to the people who were there to get the real scoop. This is not even close to a complete list, just some that I am connected with. I also got to see other fantastic people in the larger Jewish community, some of which I knew, others I was introduced to through the twitter stream:. But I was looking forward to having my sister Miryam fill me in on all the events and inside jokes! Monday, October 25, Sign in. Email Address. Enter the code as shown below:.
