CTC was PROUD to Co-Sponsor Pride Shabbat 2011.
Pride Shabbat, a project of Bashert: the LGBT initiative of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle,
is a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Jews, friends, allies and families.
2011 was the third year Pride Shabbat was endorsed as an official project by the full membership of
the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. We've come a long way! In 2011 Pride Shabbat was held at Temple De Hirsch Sinai on Capital Hill.
There was a fabulous turn out for this event, we nearly filled all the seats in the chapel. It was inspiring to pray for liberation and freedom together.
Pride Shabbat 2008 marked a step forward in the embracing of all GLBT 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. In 2008 Pride Shabbat demonstrated
that the majority of congrations today in our community are welcoming and inclusive.

Light the Night: A GLBTQ Hanukkah
If you’re a part of the JLGBTQ community (everybody always wonders what the ‘J’ stands for),
once the U-Village event ends, you should hightail it up to the Lobby Bar on Capitol Hill for
the annual “Light the Night” celebration. This celebration honors eight members — one for each candle,
of course — of the local Jewish gay/lesbian/transgender community who have worked to improve the lives
of their community members and the larger community as well. Entry is free, as are the snacks,
but you’ll have to buy your own drinks. Sponsored by Jconnect with Jewish Family Service, Congregation Tikvah Chadashah,
and a number of LGBTQ organizations. Despite Light the Night being a Jconnect program, it is open to adults of all ages.
Celebrate the miracle of the Hanukkah as we honor community leaders who have been influential in our local fight for
equality. Candle lighting. Latkes. Dreidels. Did we say FREE!!
Presented by Kolenu
Wednesday, December 21, 7:00 PM at The Lobby Bar 916 East Pike Street in Seattle. Contact Josh Furman at joshf@hilleluw.org for more details.
