Pride Shabbat Service
In person & online
Open to members & non-members
In honor of Pride Shabbat, we welcome Eliana Rubin, a queer and trans educator with Keshet, the national organization for LGBTQ Jews that works for the full equality of ALL LGBTQ Jews and their families in Jewish life.
Eliana will speak on, "Into the Unknown - Leaving a Safe Place for the Right One." In Parshat Beha'alotcha, the Israelites are led by Moses away from Mount Sinai towards the Holy Land. What does it feel like to leave something so familiar, so safe, towards what is but a promise, an exercise in trust? How might we best lead our community towards LGBTQ+ belonging when we don't know exactly what that looks like?
