Holding Space in Narrow Times

Join GLOE for this annual event to celebrate Passover through an LGBTQ lens. Now in its seventeenth year, the National Rainbow Seder is one of the nation’s largest and longest-running Passover seders for the queer Jewish community and its allies. This year’s seder will be led by an amazing clergy team: Rabbi Avigayil Halpern of Base In DC, Rabbi Jake Singer-Beilin of Bet Mishpachah, Rabbi Atara Cohen of the Edlavitch DCJCC, and Cantor Ze’evi Tovlev of Temple Shalom.

The Rainbow Seder features a full Passover seder complete with a specially-commissioned Haggadah (the Jewish text containing the Passover story) retelling the traditional tale of Jewish triumphs of resistance alongside the hard-fought progress made by the LGBTQ equality movement. We’ll enjoy a special Passover meal as we read our own Haggadah and perform its festive rituals with the Jewish LGBTQ community and our friends.
