Join us on Friday evening, June 2, and Shabbat morning, June 3, as we celebrate Pride Shabbat. On Friday night, we will hear remarks from Chavie Weisberger (bio below). Her talk will be entitled: "Growing up Chareidi; Coming out as Queer: A discussion on the ramifications of coming out in a frum family/community." Chavie will speak during services and at dinner to follow (for those who pre-registered). During Shabbat morning services, Rabbis Scheff and Drill will teach about Jewish views on transgender.
