List of Jewish LGBT organizations explained

Jewish LGBTQ+ organizations are organizations, communities, and support groups which focus on creating a more LGBTQ-inclusive environment within Judaism. They are dedicated to promoting acceptance, equality, and inclusiveness for individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer.

These organizations provide a range of resources and support services, including community-building events, educational programs, advocacy initiatives, and counseling services. They serve as a safe space for Jewish LGBTQ+ individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences, to find support and guidance, and to build a sense of belonging within Judaism. They not only address a societal issue that affects individuals, but also contribute to the high moral purpose of Tikkun olam and creating a world that is more just and equitable for all.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Our mission is to provide serious Talmud study as a spiritual practice to all who want to learn, in an environment that recognizes as crucial the insights of transgender, intersex, queer, lesbian, bisexual and gay Jews as well as those of other religious backgrounds. We facilitate the creation of interpretive communities of activists, organizers, scholars, students, and others to learn and share the text skills and halachic (Jewish legal) expertise necessary to enrich, push, penetrate, and contribute to the evolving Jewish tradition, and to be pushed, challenged, and enriched by it.. https://web.archive.org/web/20220807153714/https://svara.org/traditionally-radical/ .
