Our friends at Mosaic of Westchester offer local programs for LGBTQ+ Teens and Allies, and Keshet offers national Shabbaton Retreats.
LGBTQ & Ally Teen Shabbaton Retreats
Join our one of a kind Shabbat retreats for LGBTQ and ally Jewish teens to learn, grow, and celebrate who you are in a warm and vibrant community. 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.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR THE KESHET EAST COAST SHABBATON, FEB. 28-MAR. 1, 2020, IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Mosaic of Westchester is a committee of the Westchester Jewish Council.
Join us for discussions and activities that celebrate LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities! LGBTQ+ attendees can be at any stage of their coming out journey.
Additional dates may be added.
These programs are organized by members of the Mosaic Advisory Council:
