Pride Shabbat Dinner

Join LGBTQ Jews for a dinner of learning and friendship! This event is for LGBTQ+ folks (13 years old and up) and their partners. We will learn with Laynie Soloman who teaches through the lens of queer Torah scholarship. Ahead of our dinner, Laynie will speak at 6 p.m. services at Congregation Mishkan Or, so feel free to join us there as well!

Laynie Soloman is a teacher and Torah-lover who seeks to uplift the piously irreverent, queer, and subversive spirit of rabbinic text and theology. Laynie serves as the Associate Rosh Yeshiva at SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva, where they co-founded the Trans Halakha Project, an initiative that creates Jewish law and ritual for and by trans people. Laynie has studied and taught Torah for over a decade in a wide range of learning spaces.
