Honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance - Each year, communities around the world gather to mark Transgender Day of Remembrance, honoring the lives of transgender and nonbinary people lost to acts of anti-trans violence. We will come together in community for learning and reflection — drawing from both ancient Jewish sources and contemporary queer wisdom that uplift memory, belonging, and resistance. In partnership with our friends at Keshet and Congregation Dorshei Tzedek.
