LGBTQ Inclusion

Ohr Kodesh embraces the LGBTQ community and welcomes those who identify as LGBTQ to become a part of our congregation.

Our synagogue strives to be ever-mindful of the mitzvah “V’ahavta lerei’acha kamocha,” “Love your neighbor as yourself.” We recognize that we are all created b’tzelem Elokim, in the image of     G-d, and that, therefore, all of us are entitled to be treated with kavod, respect. 

Ohr Kodesh has partnered with Keshet, a leading national LGBTQ advocacy organization, to help us make our policies, programming, and culture reflect our commitment to inclusivity, and to support and advocate for the LGBTQ community.

The LGBTQ Inclusion Task Force invites adults and teens of any sexual orientation or gender identity to participate in our meetings and to help us plan activities, events, and programs.
