Keshet (CBB’s LGBTQ+ Group)
As of spring 2024, CBB has established a new LGBTQ+ group called CBB Keshet (Keshet is the Hebrew name meaning rainbow.)
The group is co-led by Dr. Philip Prinz and Peter Ginsberg, with support and guidance from Rabbi Steve Cohen and Rabbi Daniel Brenner. CBB Keshet is dedicated to working with all LGBTQ+ members of CBB and their families and friends, to provide support and guidance, and to promote full equality, justice and dignity within CBB and the wider Jewish Santa Barbara community.
Our current goals include sharing Queer and Jewish experiences, supporting each other during challenging times, sponsoring social and educational activities, mentoring and learning from Queer Jewish youth and representing CBB at the annual Santa Barbara Pride Festival.
A special objective is to create spaces in which all queer Jewish youth can be seen and heard. This will be promoted through the support of Rabbi Daniel Brenner and OpenDor (for 20s and 30s).
