Margot Seigle: Margot (they/them) is a community builder, cultural organizer and music maker who believes our vibrant queer Jewish diasporist future is both here and on its way. Margot is a co-founder of Linke Fligl and Let My People Sing! who loves Shabbos, direct communication and slow cooking meat..

Chana Rusanov: Chana (they/them) has been raising chickens and thinking about diasporism with Linke Fligl since spring 2018, following two seasons as a farm apprentice with ADAMAH. They care deeply about being in vulnerable relationship with Torah, and try to bring others into their explorations of ancient text, queerness and liberatory Jewish practice. They also love ketchup, danishes, good black tea and poetry.
More about our monthly community calls:
In these strange times, we feel it's important to check-in with each other and offer some loving community support. Join members of the Jewish Farmer Network community for a monthly check-in on the first Thursday of every (Gregorian) month.
Look forward to guest speakers from our community, agricultural Torah learning, break-out groups with Jewish Farmers from across the world, and some fun updates from the JFN team!
We started these community calls at the beginning of the pandemic they have become a monthly tradition. Together we mark the movement of time, celebrate the season and learn from our inspirational community members.
All are welcome!
