With more acceptance both formally and informally in parts of the Jewish community, and more spaces to be open about identity, LGBTQI+ Jews can start to look forward. They are no longer asking for acceptance, instead asking questions like "What will my Jewish wedding look like?" and "On which side of the mechitza do I stand?" This panel will ask LGBTQI+ Jews what answers they are looking for and how communities can transform tolerance into celebration.
