The event will raise money for Beth Simchat Torah Congregation Beth Simchat Torah is New York City's synagogue for the New York metropolitan area's 200,000 gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jews, as well as our families and friends. Founded in 1973, and under the leadership of Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum since 1992, CBST has become the largest GLBT synagogue in the world and arguably one of the most influential. Congregation Beth Simchat Torah is New York's gay synagogue, dedicated to the proposition that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jews are wholly legitimate members of the Jewish People, are equally legitimate members of civil society and have a unique and essential contribution to make the life of Judaism and to the larger society in which we live.
We are a diverse and inclusive congregation –whatever your sexual orientation and whatever your relationship to Judaism, you, your, family, and your friends are welcome to join us at CBST.
