In the UK, Jewish communities provide a wide range of services, support and facilities. Rather than see these duplicated for Jewish LGBT+ people, Jewish communities should ensure that their provision is inclusive of LGBT+ people and their families, and meets their needs.
Covid-19 Update
We have moved our work online. Please do get in touch to discuss which of our activities would be best for you. We can create general and bespoke resources, training and talks for Jewish schools, youth or young adult organisations, synagogues, or communal organisations. Please either email info@keshetuk.org or fill out our contact form.
What we offer community organisations

- Special projects / consultancy
Testimonies

“KeshetUK provided first class training to the JLC and PAJeS staff. It was comprehensive, instructive, extremely useful and, at all times, conducted in a welcoming and supportive environment. I recommend the KeshetUK training to all communal organisations”
Simon Johnson, CEO, JLC |

"The KeshetUK training that Lead undertook as part of the JLC staff team’s training recently was excellent. Dalia ensured that the space felt safe, yet we could be challenged about our own perceptions, values and experiences in a respectful way. The Spectrum of Inclusion is very powerful and it is important to acknowledge where we are and where we would like to be. Diversity and inclusion is one of our values so we need to make sure that we are walking the walk for LGBTQ+ people who work or volunteer as leaders in the Jewish community and beyond. "
Nicky Goldman, Executive Director, Lead |

“KeshetUK’s training ensured that all our leaders are fully aware, not only of the most current phrases, terminologies and language around the LGBT+ community, but also the sensitivities and therefore the considerations that should always be taken into account when planning for and dealing with young people. The trainers were incredibly honest and very clear about the topic, which left us in not doubt we were better equipped after the training than before it."
