Our sessions this year

Saturday, 21:30-22:30 - What’s your story? A storytelling workshop open to everyone 

KeshetUK understands the power of storytelling. Every year our volunteers travel across the UK sharing their stories of being Jewish and LGBT+. But what’s your story and how can you tell it? This interactive workshop is open to everyone, whether LGBT+ or not, to learn how to tell your story with confidence and impact.

Sunday, 13:20-14:20 - Belonging in Ritual

In 2026, KeshetUK will launch a groundbreaking new project to explore LGBT+ inclusive rituals. This is your opportunity to hear about the project and tell us when you have felt a sense of belonging within Jewish ritual. Whether it was a same-sex wedding, a non-binary b’nai mitzvah or finding yourself through prayer, come and share in this space.

Monday, 12:00-13:00 - Volunteering reimagined: what fires each generation up? with JVN

Volunteering is a key part of Jewish communal life and for many people a core part of their Jewish identity, yet every generation seems to reinvent volunteering. Join Jewish Volunteering Network, KeshetUK and other partners for a panel discussion to consider how volunteering has changed, the impact it has and what it may look like in the future.

Monday, 14:40-15:40 - LGBT+ Social Space

All LGBT+ Jews are warmly invited to join us at our LGBT+ social space. This is a safe space where LGBT+ Jews (including but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, asexual, intersex, questioning and more) can come and meet with board games available for those who to want to play.

Tuesday, 21:20-22:20 - LGBT+ Social Space

All LGBT+ Jews are warmly invited to join us at our LGBT+ social space. This is a safe space where LGBT+ Jews (including but not limited to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, asexual, intersex, questioning and more) can come and meet with board games available for those who to want to play.

Wednesday, 10:25-11:25 - Jewish perspectives on LGBT+ allyship: why, when and how we should offer active support

There are many Jewish texts to inform our thinking about allyship. We will explore examples of allyship in Tanach; share Jewish values that underpin why allyship is important; discuss our Sages’ teachings about when and how to be allies; and review one eminent rabbi’s guidance on how to choose our words carefully when we do speak up. All welcome.
