LGBTQ+ Jewish Life

Every June in the U.S., we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. While it is important to celebrate and show up for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month, our support should not be limited to just one month of the year.

The following blog post is adapted from remarks given by Cantor Jason Kaufman (Beth El Hebrew Congregation, Alexandria, VA) at the Faith Voices for the Respect for Marriage Act Press Conference on November 17, 2022.

This Pride Month, NFTY North American Board members Daniella Abbott and Cameron Samuels joined HUC rabbinical student Kelly Whitehead to discuss how their trans and non-binary identities have influenced their attitude toward systems of oppressions in the wake of new legislation aimed at attacking queer identities.
