Small Groups, Deep Connections
Tribe 12’s Tribes are niche communities that are formed around a common interest or identity. They're small and cozy by design and correspondingly have adapted seamlessly to virtual life.
Our Tribes change all the time to meet the current needs and desires of the young professionals we serve. If a Tribe is no longer working or needed, it will sunset or close. We also have Tribes which have been active for years.

Our LGBTQIA+ programming is for anyone in their 20s/30s in Philadelphia who wants to explore the intersectionality of Jewish and queer identities.

Moon Circle
At the beginning of each month, Jewish people all over the world get together to mark the beginning of a new month on the Hebrew lunar calendar. We welcome all who feel they belong in a Jewish-woman’s space – regardless of sex assigned at birth, gender expression, religious history or practice.
Jewish Acapella
Acapella isn’t just for college students! The Chailights are a self-led group of singers that meet weekly to hone their skills and perform for Jewish institutions in the Philadelphia area. Perspective members are always welcome to reach out, audition, and show us what you got.
