Important Note (May 2012):

In a few weeks, Keshet Rabbis will expand to become the Equality Guide, an online user-friendly database for LGBT Jews to locate and connect with inclusive clergy and institutions across the country.
We hope that if you are a rabbi, you will add yourself to the Keshet Equality Guide. We hope that you will invite your rabbi to join the Keshet Equality Guide.
With your participation, the Equality Guide will help LGBT Jews and their loved ones find Jewish community and connection – rabbis, cantors, synagogues, day schools, camps, Hillels – Jewish leaders and institutions that are proud to be inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Jews.
An online database for inclusive rabbis and institutions is a dramatic marker of the progress our community has made. We look forward to the day when inclusion and equality are norms in Jewish life and this guide is no longer needed.
Until then, thank you for being part of the movement for equality and for adding your name or inviting your rabbi to add their name to the Keshet Equality Guide!

*********

Keshet-Rabbis hold that GLBT Jews should be embraced as full, open members of all Conservative/Masorti congregations and institutions. Through our understanding of Jewish sources and Jewish values, we affirm that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Jews may fully participate in community life and achieve positions of professional and lay leadership.

Keshet-Rabbis has been established in order to connect gay-friendly Conservative rabbis with one another, to serve as a collective voice of gay-friendly Conservative rabbis, and to offer a point of contact for Conservative/Masorti Jews who are themselves GLBT or who care about GLBT issues. Keshet-Rabbis is not an official arm of the Rabbinical Assembly and is not endorsed by the Rabbinical Assembly. It is a free association of rabbis who are members of the Rabbinical Assembly and who subscribe to the rationale and objectives of Keshet-Rabbis.

Keshet-Rabbis provides GLBT Jews and those who love and support them with the means to contact a Conservative rabbi for positive and sympathetic advice and information. Our rabbis will, each to the best of his or her ability, provide judgment-free support and advice to those who approach them in the following areas: a listening and sympathetic ear, personal counseling in absolute privacy, halakhic queries, ceremonies of interest to the GLBT community, congregations that are already gay-friendly, referrals to helpful resources within the greater Jewish community and all similar matters.
