Keshet
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 national grassroots organization that works for the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) Jews in Jewish life. Led and supported by GLBT Jews and straight allies, Keshet offers resources, trainings, and technical assistance to create inclusive Jewish communities nationwide.
In Hebrew, Keshet means both "rainbow," a symbol of GLBT pride, and "bow," an instrument for action.
As of July 1, 2010 Keshet and Jewish Mosaic have merged. The new Keshet has a unified mission of creating a fully open, accessible, and inclusive Jewish community for GLBT Jews and our family, friends, and allies.
