The Keshet Parent & Family Connection (KPFC) and JQ Baltimore will partner on March 2 to present a panel discussion exploring the process and experience of same-sex weddings and marriages in the Jewish tradition. Beth El Congregation, 8101 Park Heights Ave., will host the event from 1-3 p.m. The panel consists of same-sex married couples, parents of same-sex married couples and clergy who have performed same-sex weddings.

“For many in Maryland, Question 6 was just something that they voted on at the polls,” said Mindy Dickler, co-founder of JQ Baltimore and mentor for Keshet PFC. “This program will put names and faces to Jewish members of our community for whom this historic vote has made a world of difference.”
