About This Event
Join us on March 12, 2026 for an evening with Allison Tombros Korman, Founder and Executive Director of the Red Tent Fund, the nation's first Jewish direct service abortion fund. After October 7th, Allison experienced feelings of antisemitism within her local abortion fund and the broader reproductive health movement. She felt pushed to choose between her Jewish identity and her commitment to reproductive health—so instead of walking away from work she loved, she created the Red Tent Fund. The conversation will explore her journey to build a space where Jewish joy, values, and reproductive freedom thrive together, followed by audience Q&A.
The evening will consist of two parts:
- At 5:30 pm, there will be a light dinner and meet and greet with Allison. There is a $36 cost to attend the dinner.
- At 7 pm, we will continue the evening with a moderated conversation with coffee and dessert. This portion of the event is FREE to attend.
Please register for either portion of the event in advance. Open to the entire Beth El and La Jolla/San Diego community.
