Oy Vey Says Be Deviant!
Oy Vey offers Jewish events and discussions in the Netherlands. Jewish? Jewish adjacent? Jew curious? We have something for you!
We have some important conversations coming up for Het Joods Manifest and a great learning opportunity with the Deviant Yeshiva. Your participation is really welcomed, so we urge you to sign up!
So, be deviant. Talk to us. Join our events. Let’s all strive to be a bit like radical Rabbi Arthur Waskow who is pictured being arrested for a protest against policies that benefit the wealthy.

LAST CHANCE: Het Joods Manifest
2 online and 2 face-to-face sessions left! Register today!
Our discussions for the Jewish Manifesto are coming to an end. We have 2 in October and 2 in November & then we are going to write up the results of all of these wonderful conversations!
For over a year, we have been talking to Jews in the Netherlands about their hopes, dreams, and fears. Your voice is really important to this discussion. Please make sure that it is heard. Check out the website for more information.

BEGINNING SOON: The Deviant Yeshiva
What’s deviant about this yeshiva? Participate and find out! The Deviant Yeshiva is 3-sessions long and explores the concept of Jewishness through the writings of three different philosophers: Agata Bielik-Robson, Albert Memmi, and Daniel Boyarin.
This is a mind-expanding opportunity to read and discuss Jewish philosophical texts with our very own Yoni Busquila. Yoni is a lecturer at Leiden University.
Join us for 3 sessions online (beginning 22 Oct), in Amsterdam (beginning 24 Oct), or in The Hague (beginning 23 Oct). We will be reading 3 texts by 3 different authors. Find out more.
Discussions are in English.
We Have Even More Events!
You can find out what’s coming up in the coming weeks online. We have Ecstatic Dance for Simchat Torah this coming Saturday and a Shabbat dinner later this month. Check out all of our events here.
