Keshet Rabbis
Organization of Conservative/Masorti rabbis
Keshet Rabbis is an organization of Conservative/Masorti rabbis that advocates for the inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jews in Conservative congregations and institutions. Founded in 2003 by Menachem Creditor, the organization is guided by its interpretation of Jewish sources and values. This understanding informs its stance on the full participation of LGBT Jews in community life.
The organization's mission is centered on promoting the acceptance and embrace of LGBT Jews as equal members of Conservative congregations and institutions. Keshet Rabbis asserts that LGBT individuals should have the opportunity to participate fully in community life and assume positions of leadership, whether professional or lay. By advancing this vision, the organization seeks to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all Jews, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
