SUMMARY:Finding Our Home - LGBTQ+ Journeys in the Jewish Community
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to create a Jewish community where everyone feels seen\, valued\, and at home? \nJoin us for a meaningful and timely conversation\, Finding Our Home: LGBTQ+ Journeys in the Jewish Community\, exploring the intersection of Jewish identity\, belonging\, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Moderated by Rabbi Greg Weisman\, this thought-provoking panel will feature special guest Rabbi Micah Buck of Keshet\, a national organization working for LGBTQ+ equality in Jewish life. Members of our own Temple Beth El community will also share their personal experiences and perspectives. \nThrough stories of family\, faith\, identity\, and inclusion\, our panelists will examine what makes LGBTQ+ advocacy a deeply Jewish value and how we can continue building communities of compassion\, understanding\, and belonging for all. \nCome listen\, learn\, and join the conversation as we continue creating a community where everyone can truly find their home. \nThis event is free and open to the community. \nRegister
