Interfaithless Meetup

Hi everyone, 

We are so sad to announce that we are pausing the Interfaithless meetups until further notice. As you know, we run this program through our work at Footsteps and over the past few months, our capacity to hold Interfaithless has changed.

We really enjoy getting to share this space with you all and seeing the supportive community that has grown these past few years. We are so grateful for your participation and willingness to share your stories with each other. We know that this has been a special place for all of us and we are hoping to bring this program back as soon as possible. We will update our listserv and Meetup page as we have updates. 

In the meantime, we encourage you to stay in touch with us and each other via our private subreddit- or meet up on your own! If you have attended at least one meeting and would like to join, please share your name when requesting to join so we can confirm that you have attended an Interfaithless meetup. You can also email us directly: Chana at [cprus@footstepsorg.org](mailto:cprus@footstepsorg.org) and Obed at [odone@footstepsorg.org](mailto:odone@footstepsorg.org) and one of us will get back to you. 

Also, here is a link to our Interfaithless Resources Document we’ve put together to share other communities to get support. If you have a resource you’d like to add to the list, please email us!  

Thanks again and hope to see you all soon!

Chana, Obed, and Sarah

Did you leave an insular religion and are you interested in sharing your experiences with others like you? If so, you are welcome to join Footsteps’ monthly virtual Interfaithless Meetup, which brings together folks who left all kinds of insular religions, including but not limited to former ultra-Orthodox Jews, former Muslims, former Jehovah’s Witnesses, former Evangelicals, former LDS, former Presbyterians, etc. We chat about all aspects of this experience, from relationships with family and friends to mental health and more.

Footsteps is an organization providing comprehensive services to people who have chosen to leave their ultra-Orthodox communities and begin new lives. Based in New York, Footsteps provides a range of services, including social and emotional support, educational and career guidance, workshops and social activities, and access to resources. Thanks to Footsteps, former ultra-Orthodox Jews have a safe, supportive, and flourishing community to turn to as they work to define their own identities, build new connections, and lead productive lives on their own terms.
