Last week at Jewish Cultural School our students explored the history of Jewish involvement in the fight for LBGTQ+ rights–learning how generations of Jews have spoken out for equality, dignity and a better world for us all.

We connected these stories to enduring Jewish values: standing up for justice, welcoming people who are different from us, and helping to make the world a kinder, more inclusive place.

And of course, we added our own colorful touch–making rainbow pizza together and singing songs that celebrate community and pride.

At Jewish Culture School, we bring Jewish culture and history to life! See what we’re cooking up next!

Not religious? That’s okay.
Haven’t made High Holiday plans yet? Totally get it.
