SUMMARY:LGBTQA 101 with Rabbi Ariel
DESCRIPTION:What does LGBTQA mean? What’s the difference between gender and sexuality? How do they/them pronouns work? \nIf you’ve ever asked questions like these— or simply want to better understand queer and trans people in your family\, our community\, and the wider world— join us for LGBTQA 101. \nLed by Rabbi Ariel\, this class will explore the basics of gender identity\, sexuality\, gender expression\, pronouns\, and inclusive language in a welcoming and judgment-free environment. There will also be space for open questions and conversation. \nWhether you’re deeply involved in queer communities or just beginning to learn\, all are welcome. \nOn Zoom only. Due to the personal nature of topics that may come up\, this class cannot be recorded.

SUMMARY:Fifth Annual Pride Seder 2026
DESCRIPTION:Our fifth annual Pride Seder is a ritual that chronicles the liberation of LGBTQA people\, much like the Passover Seder\, which retells the story of the liberation of the Jewish people. \nRegister Here \nJoin a diverse gathering of Vermont LGBTQA Jews\, Jew-adjacent folks and allies to celebrate our coming out of bondage with songs\, prayers\, and an unusual and poignant seder plate. People of all ages are welcome. \nEvent History: The first Pride Seder took place in 1995\, using a Haggadah written by Ray Schnitzler and Susie Kisber\, of the Berkeley Queer Minyan. Copies of the Haggadah travelled to B’nai Jeshurun in New York\, Sha’ar Zahav in San Francisco and many other communities around the world. View our 2024 Pride Haggadah here. \n  \n\n2026 partners: \n \n\nPast years’ photos: \n \n
