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. |

JPride has updated its mission and vision statements:
Mission: J-Pride creates community through queer-focused Jewish programming for LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies throughout the Twin Cities. Vision: LGBTQ+ Jews in the Twin Cities will have a stronger queer Jewish identity and create community by building social, ritual, and educational program opportunities designed through a queer lens. JPride is seeking volunteers! JPride will be hosting a booth at Twin Cities Pride on Saturday, June 24 (12pm-6pm) after the Pride Shabbat morning service and Sunday, June 25 (10am-6pm), and are looking for community members to help staff it. Volunteers will receive information about J-Pride and our program offerings to share with those who stop by the booth. We are also looking for anyone and everyone who wishes to celebrate LGBTQ+ Jewishness by joining us in the parade on Sunday morning! Anyone interested in volunteering is encouraged to contact Isaac Ezra Jennings, J-Pride Program Coordinator, at ijennings@jfcsmpls.org |
