Fueled by Jewish values.
Rooted in East Nashville.
East Side Tribe is a grassroots social and spiritual community fueled by Jewish values and rooted in East Nashville.
We envision an East Nashville that’s an awesome place to be Jewish, where any individual — regardless of background, faith, or ability — feels a sense of belonging in the community and can engage with Jewish values, culture, ritual, and spirituality in whatever ways create purpose, meaning, and joy in their lives.
