On Friday evening June 23, Adath Israel held their first Pride Shabbat. More than 200 congregants attended a special service, dinner, and celebration that focused on diversity and inclusion. The theme of the evening was Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is known as one of the most welcoming cities for the LGBTQIA+ community. Tel Aviv also holds one of the largest Pride parades in the world. Natalie Wolf, Adath Israel’s President, said, “It makes me feel so good that Adath Israel is showing its pride and support for our LGBTQIA+ congregants. We are finding new ways to be welcoming to everyone in our community.”
