Keshet

from the Keshet website

“Keshet is a national grassroots organization that works for the full equality and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Jews in Jewish life. Led and supported by LGBT Jews and straight allies, Keshet strives to cultivate the spirit and practice of inclusion in all parts of the Jewish community. We began as a small, grassroots group working for change in the Greater Boston area, and we are now a national organization with a west coast office in the Bay Area in addition to our national office in Boston.

Our work is guided by a vision of a world where all Jewish organizations and communities are strengthened by LGBTQ-inclusive policy, programming, culture, and leadership and where Jews of all sexual orientations and gender identities can live fully integrated Jewish lives.” (Keshet: About Us)

This website has resources for Jews who are LGBTQ and their Allies. Click here for a list of some of the available resources for GLBTQ teens and adults! Keshet means “rainbow” in Hebrew. Come and join the rainbow!
