The basis of every community is the meeting between the members within it. Activists from the LGBTQ+ community in Jerusalem have a wide variety of social spaces in the open house, designed to getting to know each other, meeting and creating belonging.
We believe that the more spaces we have that allow the diverse identities we have to be expressed, gender and sexual identities alongside religious, cultural, political identities and more. This way, each and every one of us will be able to raise our head and live with full pride with the whole of our personality.
We invite you to take part in the beautiful human mosaic of the gay community in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is a focus of diverse religious-LGBT communities. These communities voice voices of inclusion and tolerance in LGBT contexts even within the religious establishment – they take their place in tolerant synagogues and educational institutions. But the queer-religious context still remains limited to questions that have a halachic tone, and reduces the essence of the queer-religious life to questions of religious or sexual acts only.
The Queer Beit Midrash meets for a regular group to study Gemara tractates on Wednesdays at 8:30 am, Zoom.
In addition, the Beit Midrash holds study days around holidays and dates in the Jewish-LGBT calendar.
