CTC was a PROUD to Co-Sponsor Pride Shabbat 2014.
In 2014 Pride Shabbat will held at Temple Beth Am in North Seattle.
Temple Beth Am hosted last year’s city-wide Pride Shabbat!
Open to the entire Jewish community, and was a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender,
and Queer Jews, with their friends, allies, and families. Temple Beth Am is a Welcoming Synagogue
and their program team is excited to make this Pride Shabbat at TBA inclusive and joyous. After the
service, everyone attended a free Shabbat dinner, sponsored by TBA and Jewish community
partners.

Pride Shabbat is an opportunity provides a way for our community to come together and share joyous and meaningful prayer in an inclusive environment
that welcomes lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning Jews, their friends and families. Last year there was fabulous turn out more of than 300 participants at
the Pride Shabbat service. Pride Shabbat has the endorsement of the Jewish Federatin of Greater Seattle and other groups including Congregation Tikvah Chadashah and Koleinu.
Its attendance grew when it was a project of Bashert: the LGBT initiative of the Jewish Federation. It has been a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender and questioning Jews, friends, allies and families.
2014 is the sixth year that Pride Shabbat has been endorsed by the full membership of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. We've come a long way! It is inspiring to pray for liberation and freedom together.
Pride Shabbat 2008 marked a step forward in the embracing of all GLBTQ Jews of our community. In the past rejection by
congregations and exclusion from full participation in Jewish life were common and were part of the founding of CTC. Since 2008 Pride Shabbat has demonstrated
that the majority of congrations today in our community are welcoming and inclusive.

Seattle Jewish Film Festival
CTC is a proud sponsor!
Seattle Jewish Film Festival March 14 to March 22, 2015
Come see the our sponsored films Gay Gezunt! LGBTQ Series
Sunday March 15, 3:00 PM at the AMC Pacific Place
GAY GEZUNT! literally means "Go with health" in Yiddish, but of course every Yiddish expression says more: "Why sweat the small stuff, as long as you have your health?"
This film series of short films runs 68 minutes and features two Academy Award®-nominees, FACING FEAR (USA, 2013, 23m) and SUMMER VACATION (Hofesh Gadol, Israel, 2012, 22m),
as well as two premieres: ZAZALAND (Israel, 2014, 12m) and THE SEDER (Canada, 2011, 11m).
GAY GEZUNT! celebrates the international diversity of Jewish LGBTQ filmmaking and depictions of complex, boundary breaking and healthy relationships on screen.
Cinematically, this collection of films tries not to "sweat the small stuff" - hate crimes, fear and intimidation, family expectations and approval, and love and lust.
