Since 1995, the JFREJ community has gathered each year (with just two exceptions) at the Mazals to lift up the incredible vision, courage, and dedication of the people in our community and wider movement who’ve demonstrated — whether quietly behind the scenes, or loudly and proudly on the frontlines — creative and bold leadership. The Mazals is also a time and place for us to bask in the glow of our collective accomplishments and to ground ourselves in our love, respect, and admiration for one another.
WHEN: Tuesday, September 17th, 2024 | 6:00-9:00PM
WHERE: 9 Bob’s Note
(270 Meserole St, Brooklyn, NY 11206)

Information about the Venue
Location: 9 Bob’s Note (270 Meserole St, Brooklyn, NY 11206)
Covid Safety:
- The event will be held outdoors in a large enough space to spread out.
- The entrance to the building and the restrooms are indoors. Masks are required in all indoor spaces. We will not be requiring masking in the outdoor space, though we encourage you to do so if that is more comfortable for you.
- We ask that everyone take a covid test on the day of the event and we will provide covid tests at the venue if you need. We ask that you stay home if you don’t feel well.
Rain Plan:
- In the event of rain, we will be moving the event indoors and requiring masking. We are working with covid safety experts to maximize air purification and air flow in the indoor space. There will be limited outdoor and tented space for those who prefer to be outside.
Accessibility:
- The venue is ADA accessible and has an ADA accessible restroom.
- The venue is two blocks away from the closest train line and stop. We will provide ASL & Spanish translation during the event program. Please let us know if you require translation to other languages in order to participate.
- The main program will be livestreamed
- JFREJ is committed to the safety of all of our guests. Just like at street actions, we will attempt to make sure that no one leaves the venue alone. We will arrange for guests to walk in groups and will provide buddies to accompany anyone walking to a car, car service or subway.
- The event is being held at a queer bar. In addition to a volunteer safety and security team arranged by JFREJ, the bar is providing traditional security. Please note that there are metal detectors at the entrance and that a bouncer will be checking IDs at the door. Unfortunately, there is not a workaround for these venue policies. We will have greeters and access support at the entrance to welcome you as you arrive.
- We will be providing childcare (more information to come for how to sign up for childcare).
