Welcome to Keshet!

"Keshet is a lifeline. It affirms that there is an honorable place in the Jewish community for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities."

-Rabbi Carl Perkins, Temple Aliyah (USCJ), Needham, MA

Keshet is a grassroots organization dedicated to creating a fully inclusive Jewish community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) Jews in Greater Boston and across the country.

We offer resources, training, and technical assistance for creating change in Jewish communities nationwide.

In Hebrew, Keshet means both “rainbow,” a symbol of GLBT pride, and “bow,” an instrument for action.
