What is the Equality Act and Why is it Jewish to Care About it?

Thursday, June 24, 2021 14 Tammuz 5781

8:15 PM - 8:45 PM

Join via Zoom. Jon Cohen from Keshet will speak about the Equality Act, followed by a Q&A session. Keshet envisions a world in which all LGBTQ Jews and their families can live with full equality, justice, and dignity. By strengthening Jewish communities and equipping Jewish organizations with the skills and knowledge they need to make all LGBTQ Jews feel welcome, Keshet works to ensure the full equality of all LGBTQ Jews and their families in Jewish life. They also create spaces in which all queer Jewish youth feel seen and valued and advance LGBTQ rights nationwide. At 8:45 p.m., we will watch "Love, Simon" together in the sanctuary at Temple Israel (we have decided to move this event inside). Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing
