Keshet Events aim to Foster Inclusion
Jewish Federation is committed to making our community a welcoming place for LGBTQ Jews, and we are proud to co-host a series of upcoming events facilitated by Keshet.
You’re invited to join us at Intersections: Sharing our stories on Queer Jewish identity on Monday, October 23rd for an engaging evening of storytelling, conversation, and connection with Vancouver's queer and trans Jewish community. This event is open to LGBTQ community members of all ages and allies, and will be facilitated by Keshet presenters.
Whether you are new or old to the city, if you are just coming out or you've been out for years, or whether you are immersed in or exploring Judaism, this event is for you. Come meet some new folks, reconnect with old friends, share your stories, or just listen with intent.
