Eshel Local Support Groups
Do you think you might be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender non-conforming, or queer? Do you have questions about sexual orientation or gender identity? Are you thinking about “coming out”? Are you struggling to stay in your community? Are you unsure how to approach your rabbi about these topics? Do you want to meet other people like you?
Eshel offers several sources of support for LGBTQ+ Orthodox Jews, their families, and their communities. For notifications and sign-in information, please register here. (You only need to register one time for any group.)
