Join us for Shabbat service as we observe Transgender Day of Remembrance, honoring the lives of transgender and nonbinary people lost to violence and hatred. Rooted in the Jewish teaching that every person is created B’tzelem Elohim, in the image of God, we will come together in remembrance, prayer, and solidarity. As we mourn those whose lives were cut short, we will also affirm the dignity, beauty, and sacred worth of every person and recommit ourselves to building a world and a Jewish community where everyone can live safely, authentically, and with a true sense of belonging.
