From Commitment to Action: Mobilizing Jewish Communities for LGBTQ+ Justice and Inclusion

Keshet Logo

In partnership with Keshet

This year, more than 1,100 Jewish clergy signed a public letter affirming their commitment to the dignity and rights of transgender and LGBTQ+ people. Now, four of those signatories are coming together to talk about what comes next.

Join Rabbi Daniel Bogard, Cantor Sheri Allen, Rabbi Sandra Lawson, and Rabbi Eliana Kayelle for a powerful panel conversation on mobilizing Jewish communities for LGBTQ+ justice. Drawing on the spirit of the clergy letter, this webinar will explore how Jewish values call us to act — from building deeper inclusion and belonging within our own congregations to advocating in the public square, including key 2026 ballot initiatives that will shape the lives of LGBTQ+ people across the country.

Whether you're a clergy member, lay leader, or community member looking to turn commitment into action, this conversation will offer grounding, strategy, and inspiration for the work ahead.
