Pride season is just around the corner and since the very beginning, Pride has been about LGBTQ people standing up against discrimination in the struggle for equality, shedding light on the unseen, building community, celebration, and joy.

In this tradition, we invite you to join us for a discussion on queer identity from a Jewish perspective across different countries and experiences: “Wir sind hier! We are here! Jewish and Queer from Germany to the U.S.”. The conversation will include Helene Shani Braun (Abraham Geiger College, Berlin), Cantor Juval Porat (Congregation Beth Chayim Chadashim, Los Angeles), and moderated by Rabbi Jillian Cameron (Congregation Beth Chayim Chadashim, Los Angeles).

Welcoming remarks by Consul General Stefan Schneider, German Consulate General Los Angeles.

The event will also feature a musical performance by Cantor Juval, a video message from Dalia Grinfeld, co-chair of Keshet Deutschland, and a Q&A session to follow the discussion. Come to learn, be seen, and to celebrate!

This event is a collaboration between the German Consulate General Los Angeles and Congregation Beth Chayim Chadashim.

Community Pride Seder, A Virtual Celebration of Queer Freedom — Pride Seder is a ritual that chronicles the liberation of LGBTQ people, much like the Passover Seder, which retells the story of the liberation of the Jewish people. Let’s come together with LGBTQ Jewish clergy, as well as civic and interfaith leaders, at this annual community event to remember that none of us are free until all of us are free.
