JUNE GATHERINGS
Where the love lives.
Pride isn’t just a party, though we’re definitely here for the dancing. It’s a celebration of kehillah — community. Showing up fully, being seen, being held, being together.
Queerness and Jewishness don’t just coexist. They light each other up. Both are resilience and reinvention, deep roots and bold futures, asking big questions, making space for all of who we are. Honoring folks who paved the way. Dreaming up new ways to gather. Radically inclusive, joyfully alive.
That’s where the love lives. Pride is the perfect time to remember that.
