John-- Next week I'll be moderating a webinar on how issues related to Israel/Palestine play out in the LGBTQ community here in the U.S. I very much want you to join me. I'll be joined in this webinar by Idit Klein, the President and CEO of Keshet, the national organization for LGBTQ equality in Jewish life, and Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie of New York's thriving Lab/Shul community. Together we will be talking about the realities of navigating issues related to Israel/Palestine in the queer community. The webinar will take place on June 18th at 2:00 Eastern Time. Click here to learn more and to RSVP. And, yes, this is also a Pride webinar. I know that, for some of us, it can be hard to celebrate Pride in the context of the ongoing war in Gaza, the starvation, and our worries about the fate of the hostages. But I've learned that we must always create space for Pride: There is a community of people who are too often hidden, erased, or whose existence is denied. Pride is an antidote to those regressive forces. It is desperately needed this year! Please join me on the 18th, and happy Pride! Noam Shelef
