For our family, June and LGBTQ+ Pride month are more than wearing rainbows and posting on social media. As an ally and proud parent of a transgender daughter, it is about making sure our child is proud of who she is, feels beautiful inside and out, and remembers Jewish values in her daily life – not just in June, but year-round.

On the recent WRJ Civil Rights Journey (CRJ), the theme of legacy was repeated over and over. As our tour guide, Billy Planer wrapped up our powerful five-day experience, he asked this poignant legacy question, ‘How will you live your life so that when you die, you have a legacy of justice for the next generation to remember you by?’

This past weekend, my women’s group, Congregation Gates of Prayer Sisterhood, was able to hold our annual Sisterhood Shabbat after missing it last year due to the pandemic. It was a beautiful Friday evening service full of feminist perspectives -- led entirely by women, with meaningful readings from WRJ’s Covenant books, tunes of mostly female singer/songwriters for our prayers, and dancing through the aisles WRJ-style to MiChamocha. It was the ‘dancing of the women’ that brought me to tears remembering what I’ve so dearly missed, an overwhelming feeling of being closer to God.

Ah, Spring – the flowers are blooming, and birds are chirping. Spring cleaning is traditionally when we are busy decluttering and organizing our home. It’s time to add one more item to the Spring-cleaning list -- your sisterhood’s social media.
