Supporting Inclusion for LGBTQ+ Community

Alexander Jewish Family Service is committed to helping reduce barriers and increase inclusion and belonging for the LGBTQ+ community within Jewish spaces. ‍

Guided by the Jewish value of B’tzelem Elohim–we are all created in God’s image - Open Hearts, Open Doors is focused on building community through providing opportunities to connect, learn together about building inclusive and embracing spaces and share helpful resources to support this work.

We have compiled a list of resources to support individuals and organizations in identifying best practices, assessing growth opportunities and providing training.

Join us on our journey to build a more inclusive community.
