11th Annual National Rainbow Seder: Reflections on Resistance
|
5:00-5:30 pm | VIP/Mensch Reception, sponsored by Bet Mishpachah Location
Now in its eleventh year, the National Rainbow Seder is one of the nation’s largest and longest-running Passover seders for the queer Jewish community and its allies, co-presented by GLOE - The Kurlander Program for GLBTQ Outreach & Engagement at the Edlavitch DCJCC and the HRC’s Religion & Faith Program. Hosted inside the Equality Center ballroom at the HRC headquarters in Washington, DC, this year’s program will feature a full Passover seder complete with a specially-commissioned haggadah (the Jewish text containing the Passover story) retelling the traditional tale of Jewish triumphs of resistance alongside the hard-fought progress made by the LGBTQ equality movement over the past decade since the National Rainbow Seder's inception. Leading our Seder is NYC-based transgender activist, blogger, and speaker Abby Stein, the first woman—and the first openly trans woman—to be ordained by an Orthodox institution, having received her rabbinical degree in 2011, before coming out as transgender. ______________________________________________ Get your tickets now for this celebration of freedom!
