When Sage Cassell-Rosenberg, Keshet Jews of Color Program Manager, started in their role, they sought to learn about the experiences of LGBTQ+ Jews of Color in Jewish spaces. While some research exists about Jews of Color, Sage quickly noticed a gap in information. “There were no findings that specifically addressed navigating Jewish spaces at the intersection of being a Person of Color, Jewish, and LGBTQ+...As Keshet’s JOC Program Manager, entrusted with creating resources and spaces that uplift, amplify, and celebrate the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ Jews of Color, I saw an opportunity to elevate these stories.” And so the LGBTQ+ Jews of Color Survey was created! Help us make history and share your story before the survey closes, September 22: https://lnkd.in/exVgT9W4 https://lnkd.in/eh_hXdqz #Keshet #LGBTQJews #QJOC

The 2024 legislative session hit transgender students in Louisiana hard. As of August 1, it is illegal for teachers to discuss gender identity or sexual orientation in the classroom with students in grades K-12. While these bills are now law, they are not moral. As Jews, our tradition teaches us that everyone is created b’tzelem Elohim, in the image of the Divine. That includes each and every member of the LGBTQ+ community and informs our obligation to resist laws that undermine human dignity. Learn more about how our Jewish values call on us to act from a recent op-ed authored by Keshet Community Mobilization Manager Lanie Cohen and Rose Kantorcyzk, Communications and Legislative Affairs Coordinator from Keshet partner SOJOURN. https://lnkd.in/e3xWkD9C Image: Lanie Cohen and Rose Kantorcyzk at the Texas State Capitol together. #Keshet #LGBTQJews
