LGBTQ & Ally Teen Shabbaton Retreats

We have launched a variety of initiatives in the same spirit as our Shabbatonim.  Check out our Youth page for upcoming programs and events! 

When regional in-person programming becomes a safe and feasible option in 2021, we will create ways to gather!

Being a teenager is hard. For queer Jewish teens, the social pressures to fit in or the anxieties of standing out may feel even harder — especially in a world where homophobia, transphobia, and anti-Semitism are on the rise. At Keshet’s Shabbat retreats, LGBTQ and ally Jewish teens are able to exhale; to find their place and their voice as emerging Jewish leaders. Together, they build meaningful friendships, engage in deep Jewish learning, and return home to build a world we can all be proud of.
