Join Miknaf’s Membership
Like mycelium, the underground fungal network that supports the life and thriving of all plants in their eco-system, we would like to call in and better connect the incredible human network at our backs in service to a thriving movement for diasporist judaism in the UK.
Whether you are a seasoned Miknaf-nik who has joined us for many of our programs already or want to support our work from afar, or anywhere in between, we are so excited to welcome you a little deeper into our work.
For the last five years Miknaf Ha’aretz has been working to heal, repair and transform Jewish belonging to land, create a space to radically re-imagine Jewish safety and belonging beyond zionism, build community rooted in principles of earth-based radical-diasporism and organise within the wider land justice movement for land and food justice for all. We have been blessed, humbled and greatly moved to meet and connect with hundreds of like-minded folk seeking a political and spiritual home where they can bring their whole Jewish selves. It has never been so needed.
People often ask how they can support the work we do at Miknaf Ha’aretz and get more involved in building earth-based, radical-diasporist Jewish community in the UK. This mycelial portal is an attempt to begin to answer this question - supporting our community to be more deeply connected, build collective power and create a more resilient model for resourcing this work.
In the face of rising fascism, war & ecological devastation, building up our movements for social and ecological change has never been more important. We want to develop Miknaf to be the powerful movement of ecological diasporist jewish organising the world needs right now. And we’d love you to join us.
About
Miknaf Membership
-
You can join as either a member or supporter member:
Members: Full Membership is open to anyone who identifies as Jewish in the most inclusive and expansive sense; including those from any denomination, those with jewish ancestry looking to learn more about their heritage; and those on a conversion journey.
Supporter Members: Supporter Membership is open to anyone in our wider community who would like to support our work who does not identify as jewish, as well as Jewish folks living outside of the UK & Europe.
For now, Members must be based in the UK & Europe. We know we have a lot of supporters in the US and beyond. We want to welcome you whilst creating an effective space for UK based organisers - you are welcome to sign up as a Supporter Member instead.
-
We will begin with a simple membership of members & supporter members. Membership costs will start from £1. We want anyone to be involved if they want to be, and for costs not to be a barrier, though consistent contributions, however small, will allow us to do the work of cultivating earth-based, radical-diasporist jewish community in the UK and organising for land justice for all.
Members will:
Be the first to hear about and sign up to upcoming Miknaf offerings
Be invited to participate in community education sessions, sharing your own skills and wisdom with the community
Be invited to join Avodat Lev sessions on zoom, as well as other jewish prayer & learning opportunities
Be invited to join community councils
Have the opportunity to shape Miknaf through an annual reflection & dreaming process.
Be connected with the Miknaf community and be part of a brave, growing collective of jewish diasporist organisers in the UK and beyond!
We see this iteration of membership as a first layer of building towards more autonomous regional organising which we feel is necessary to deepen and grow our impact. Preparing members to self-organise will be a next phase of our work. We’re also excited to see what emerges through our coming together in this way!
Supporter Members will:
Be invited to participate in some of our community education sessions, sharing your own skills and wisdom with the community
Have the opportunity to support Miknaf through an annual reflection & dreaming process.
Be able to show your support and solidarity with our movement
