We're delighted to welcome you to our 2025 Yetzirah Jewish Poetry Conference. 

This year, we're trying something new for our online events. We'll have ONE Zoom link for all events, with suggested donation amounts based on how many events you think you'd like to attend. As the conference is our single biggest programming expense of the year, we appreciate your support at the highest level that feels right to you and, if you're so moved, with a little extra to help support our choice to make these events accessible to those who cannot afford to donate anything.

As you select your ticket tier, please remember that the conference is our single biggest annual expense and the support we receive through tickets sales is vital for our support.
