Eshel’s National LGBTQ+ Retreat is the only Orthodox LGBTQ+ retreat in the world, bringing together over a hundred participants each year for a weekend of Shabbat, learning, celebration, and the transformative experience of being fully seen within both Jewish and LGBTQ+ identities.

From Eshel’s first retreat and for over a decade following, Barry Youngerman z”l was a beloved fixture of this community, welcoming countless people, building lasting connections, and serving as a mentor to others.

Make a gift today to the Barry Youngerman z”l Scholarship Fund to honor his memory by making it possible for everyone to experience this powerful and transformative Shabbaton.
