ORGANIZING TEAM

Jessica rosenberg

Content Editor, Jessica Rosenberg (she/her), makes meeting agendas, tuna noodle casseroles, and, now, calendars. She enjoys getting up with the sun, organizing for the just redistribution of resources, and propagating wandering Jews of all kinds.

Ayeola Omolara Kaplan

Calendar Artist/Layout Editor, Ayeola Omolara Kaplan (She/Her) was the quiet emo girl at the back of the classroom drawing her anime crushes. Today she can still be found swooning over fictional characters and drawing more than she talks. She's fascinated by Jewish magick, abolitionist politics, and psychology.

elissa martel

Art Editor, Elissa Martel (she/her) has been a weird art kid since childhood, and peaked in 4th grade when she sang with Celine Dion. Most recent peak has been working on this amazing calendar with a team of babes, obvi.

Ariana katz

Layout Editor, Ariana Katz (she/her) learned how to do layout from being a nerdy high schooler hiding in the newspaper office and making zines. She likes ritual, intergenerational revolutionary learning, remembering birthdays, and parshat hashavuah.

ordering

The Radical Jewish Calendar is organized by Jewish month, layering Jewish and Gregorian dates, astrological happenings, holidays, and political history. Twelve months of political art, culture, and history made by dreamers, artists, and organizers who want to know what time it is. In 5785, our ninth calendar features art of the Palestine solidarity movement, celebrating anti-Zionist history, exploring themes of doykeit/hereness/diasporism.

As always, we are celebrating Jewish culture that is intersectional, queer, feminist, anti-racist, and that challenges and builds a Judaism and Jewishness beyond Zionism.

This year we will give 18% of calendar sales to Palestinian-led organizations and movement work.
