The Aleph Course @ Upside Down

Upside Down is a coffee, art, and community space owned and operated by Jews for Jesus, designed to serve the community of Westwood Village and UCLA.Since 2019, the cafe has operated by donation, and most of the events are free to the public. Spaces owned by religious groups are typically either not opened to the public, or not really a space you want to be, and we wanted to change that. We love flipping preconceived ideas on their heads – hence the name. For example, a donation-based coffee shop, or being Jewish and following Jesus. Flipping things can be fun!Our hope is that each time you walk in from our upside down world, things get put right side up in some way.
