About

Our entire senior team identifies as LGBTQIA+. We have had an LGBTQIA+ affinity group since 2008 and have LGBTQIA+ specific events at least once a month. We educate our lay leaders about diversity in gender expression and have a number of LGBTQIA+ board members. We pride ourselves on not being heternormative and take this mandate seriously.

If you are queer and in yours 20s or 30s in the Philly area and looking for Jewish community we want to be a home for you! We offer all sorts of programs and welcome folks with a wide range of identities, beliefs and practices!
