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.
