It's RAINBOW SEASON!

Jewish wisdom teaches us to find gratitude and radical amazement in our every day lives.

We are still in awe of this double-rainbow at .

SAVE THIS POST so that you too can recite the blessing upon seeing a rainbow, connecting with people and planet.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֶ-להֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם זוֹכֵר הַבְּרִית וְנֶאֱמָן בִּבְרִיתוֹ וְקַיָם בְּמַאֲמָרוֹ

*Baruch ata Ado-nai Elo-heinu melech ha'olam zocher ha'brit v'ne'eman bivrito v'kayam b'ma'amaro.

*Blessed are You, Adonai our G!d, ruler of the universe, who remembers the covenant, is faithful to the covenant, and keeps promises.

Did you know that the Torah is actually super q***r? Whether you already know all the LGBTQ+ tea in our bible stories or this is the first time you're hearing about it, this session is for you!

Join Keshet for “As Old as Torah: The Q***rness We Inherited,” a Pride event open to all and centered on celebrating the stories of LGBTQ+ Jews of Color. Led by Saffron Mala Kaplan, contributor to Keshet's Flowers for Our People photo exhibit, together we'll explore stories from the Torah and rabbinic midrash and uncover q***r narratives written thousands of years ago.

Come learn, reflect, and honor the LGBTQ+ Jews who have always been here. Thursday, June 11, 6:30pm ET. keshet.tfaforms.net/w/as-old-as-torah
