Let’s get into some Trans Pride Shabbat Q&A! From Jewish Education Project
Q: When is Trans Pride Shabbat?
A: Trans Pride Shabbat is Friday, June 27, to align with the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. However, we know that many Jewish communities already have Pride Shabbats scheduled, and they might not be on that particular weekend in June. Therefore, we encourage folks to incorporate Trans Pride Shabbat in whatever way works for you!
Q: Do I have to host Trans Pride Shabbat through my synagogue?
A: No! We’re partnering with OneTable to provide an option for individuals to host Shabbat dinners, as well as for synagogues to incorporate trans-focused liturgy and action items into their existing Shabbat services. You can sign up for a reimbursable Trans Pride Shabbat dinner here.
Q: What makes a Trans Pride Shabbat a Trans Pride Shabbat?

Q: Do I have to plan this by myself?
A: No! Lanie and Rose want as many folks to host a Trans Pride Shabbat as possible as smoothly as possible. We’re always here for planning help or additional resources.
