TRAINING INSTITUTE FOR JEWISH EDUCATORS
Keshet works for the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jews in Jewish life. The Hineini Education Project serves our mission by offering training and workshops to Jewish educators about creating Jewish communities that are affirming and inclusive of GLBT youth and adults. The Institute for Jewish Educators brings together those working with Jewish youth and families in a variety to settings to enhance the capacity of Jewish educators, and the institutions they represent, to create GLBT inclusive cultures. (Prior knowledge about issues related to sexual orientation or gender diversity is not necessary for participation in the program.)
