Keshet Corner
How To Support the LGBTQIA+ Community by Becca Herman, Keshet Pride Co-Chair It is a dark time for the LGBTQIA+ community. We are scared. We are anxious. Some us are wrestling with feelings of shock and resignation and betrayal. In times like these, the Jewish community (especially at Har Shalom) is often the first to ask - what can we do? Through our commitment to tikkun olam, we want to contribute, to give of ourselves, to repair harm, to prevent harm. It can feel overwhelming and, for those of us who are not part of, or not close to the LGBTQIA+ community, we may not know where to start. Please read on for some ideas.
Around Northern Colorado
In 2025, Har Shalom strives to connect with our broader northern Colorado community for education, support and action. Look for a monthly addition to Happenings that will feature a non-profit organization you can learn more about, choose to support, or with whom to volunteer. To add an organization deserving of a highlight, please send information to Tal Bloom at connect@nocoharshalom.org.
