We are excited to host opportunities for LGBTQ+ Jewish youth and young adults all over the Chicago area — from Pride Shabbat programming at local synagogues to haunted house tours over Sukkot to marching in Chicago’s annual Pride celebration — please join us!
Issac spent a lot of his time during high school in Indiana volunteering as a youth advocate for LGBTQ+ youth’s rights in schools. Since then, that passion remains and he is excited to bring those experiences to his work with Keshet as the Midwest Youth Engagement Manager.
Prior to working with Keshet, Issac worked with the Jewish Council on Urban Affairs, a Chicago-based organization that works on social issues including economic justice. Issac graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Game Art and minors in Women, Gender and Sex Studies & Animation. He lives in Chicago and likes to spend his free time playing games with friends. Issac hopes to write and publish his own comic book series one day.
Join us for our annual Jew York Pride celebration — the largest gathering of LGBTQ+ Jews from all over the tri-state area, and for events throughout the year. From text studies to picnics, there is something for everyone!
Elie grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is now a student at Barnard College and the Jewish Theological Seminary studying Religion and Talmud. They are an active member in their collegiate Jewish community and also direct the Columbia University Klezmer Band. They are passionate about accessibility to Jewish spaces for LGBTQ+ youth as well as mental health awareness in the intersection between the LGBTQ+ and Jewish communities. Elie is thrilled to be bringing these passions and background in religious and Jewish studies to their work as the New York City Youth Engagement Intern.
We host events monthly for LGBTQ+ Jewish youth in Palm Beach County and every other month in Broward County for opportunities to explore living at the intersections of our LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities!
Tracey is Keshet’s Florida Education & Training Manager. In that role she works with Jewish organizations across the state to ensure that LGBTQ+ Jews and their family members feel a sense of belonging in Jewish spaces. Prior to working at Keshet, Tracey was a high school English teacher. She missed working with teens so much that she helped to launch the Palm Beach Queer Jewish Youth Alliance and is now working to duplicate that program in Broward County. Tracey wants to help create spaces where each of us can show up as our full, authentic selves. Snacks always help too!
