Pride Shabbat 2026

October 16, 2026
Southwest Orlando Jewish Congregation

I had the honor of being invited to give the D'var Torah at Orlando's Pride Shabbat this year. As someone who only finalized my conversion to Judaism in February of 2026, this was a true privilege, and the speech that I gave was deeply personal and meaningful to me. I was proud to get to share my journey as a queer Jewish woman with the LGBTQIA+ Jewish community of my hometown on the eve of Orlando's Pride celebration.
