Adath Keruv Committee
|
Our Adath community is vibrant because of the many ways members identify: LGBTQ and straight, single and partnered, and in committed relationships with people of other faith traditions. Since 2005, the Keruv Committee has facilitated learning that leads to action, guidance, and practice that builds inclusive community. Keruv means drawing close. We strive to live up to the best version of a community, in which we draw close and embrace one another, a community in which interfaith households are vital and LGBTQ voices are centered, and in which we continue to explore how every person and household is seen for who they are. Come be part of our ongoing, exciting mission. Contact keruv@adath.net with any suggestions that can help us build inclusive community. |
