To harm trans people is to betray the preciousness of each human being. To harm trans people is to deny the responsibility we all have for one another, Kol Yisrael Areivim Ze Bazeh.
Keshet offers a variety of initiatives to support, empower, and celebrate queer youth ages 13-18 and 18-24. Check out our LGBTQ+ and Ally Teen Shabbatonim weekend retreats, our online programming, and our resources for LGBTQ+ youth and allies.
Our young people must have the freedom to be their full selves, pursue their dreams, and live with dignity — no exceptions.

Raising Is, a nonbinary trans Thai Jewish kid in Florida, has been joyful and challenging. Keshet has been a place of comfort, inspiration and safety for Is–from Shabbaton participation to team leader work. The professional, emotional and intellectual support of Keshet guides countless LGBTQ+ teens and families towards acceptance and fulfillment. We are so thankful for Keshet.
