June is Pride Month, and our LGBTQ+ Group is celebrating this evening! We modified the schedule to help accommodate our young professionals, so Shabbat activities start a little later.

RSVP

We invite you to end your week and welcome Shabbat with us!

PRIDE IN COMMUNITY

LGBTQ+ Community and allies alike, kick off Pride Month with our annual Pride Shabbat!

Join us in prayer, song, laughter, and commitment as we nosh and toast our strong, growing, WHC LGBTQ+ community!
This event is not just for those who identify as LGBTQ+. Now, more than ever, we need our allies to come out in force and show their support for our community. Please join us and invite friends who want to celebrate who they are and/or may need a welcoming and inviting space to do so. Families of all kinds and kids/teens are welcome!

At 6:30 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community. Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4,  or create at a coloring table.

7:00 pm – Our Shabbat service begins. Watch the Livestream

After the service – Stay for dessert, or more food and drinks!
