Categories for Believe that Jews of all gender identities and expressions should be embraced fully and affirm that they may fully participate in community life and achieve positions of leadership
When I walk into a legislator’s office and can say that the faith community doesn’t believe in discrimination, and to have someone from Keshet say, "I’m here on behalf of the Jewish community saying we don’t believe in anti-LGBTQ policies," it’s very meaningful. And it’s not what they are used to hearing. It’s critical for Keshet to keep articulating that voice on the federal and state levels.
