LGBTQ Pride Shabbat

June is LGBTQ Pride Month
In honor of LGBTQ Pride Month, everyone is invited to join Scarsdale Synagogue on Friday June 12, at 8pm as they acknowledge the crucial value of inclusion in the community, and particularly on this night the inclusion of those who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ) and their friends, family, and allies. They will celebrate the diversity, and the movement's largely courageous history around Jewish outreach to LGBTQ Individuals. The Synagogue is proud to collaborate on the evening with Mosaic of Westchester, the community's Jewish LGBTQ outreach organization.
Invite your friends and neighbors to join Scarsdale Synagogue!

From the proclamation of the President of the United States of America, May 2011.
"The story of America's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters, and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a more perfect Union. It is a story about the struggle to realize the great American promise that all people can live with dignity and fairness under the law. Each June, we commemorate the courageous individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity... I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America....do hereby proclaim June 2011 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to eliminate prejudice everywhere it exists, and to celebrate the great diversity of the American people."
