I worked as a volunteer first and then for a small time as an intern when Keshet was starting to grow back in 2003. I think the vision of the organization with the community organizing tools applied, has brought to Boston, the US and also to the international Jewish community an example on how things can change for good. In Argentina and Latin America we had applied Keshet tools and programs succesfully and we have always had the support of their staff.

Keshet is a remarkable and essential resource to the Jewish community - as a straight allie who has supported other GLBT organizations for years, it's about time we got with the program! The leadership and staff of Keshet bring innovation and creativity to their work,along with an inclusive and joyous approach. In the past several years they have succeeded in developing many of the necessary tools for building awareness, strengthening education, and promoting action on GLBT issues in our community.

insure that all congregations, Jewish community centers, and educational and cultural institions had the necessary budget, staff, and programs to support GLBT members of our community.
Ways to make it better...
I had more time to integrate their work into my own within the mainstream Jewish community. Looking forward to the next best opportunity.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the current funding climate.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I have been particularly moved at how this organization has gone about its work, with dignity and humility in the face of ignorance and years of neglect from a human rights and social justice perspective.

I was trained as a facilitator by keshet as part of their Hebrew school educational programs. I know that through that program and others like it keshet is generating important converstion within the Jewish community around issues of inclusion, inclusion of glbt folks, and inclusion of others. Keshet is a vital force in Boston and nationally.

Keshet is a wonderful organization in Boston with very committed staff. From Keshet trainings and interactions I have had with staff I've learned a lot about how to be more inclusive especially around trans-issues and I've been proud to march in the Boston Pride Parade with Keshet for the past 2 years.

incredible.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
dramatically change how inclusive the Jewish community is on a national level.
Ways to make it better...
more events were run by other volunteers instead of just being staff lead. Although I understand how hard this is (and recognize that I'm not stepping up), it doesn't seem sustainable to have an organizer work so many nights.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
that they don't have enough staff to do everything they would like.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I'm so proud that something that started in Boston is having such a national impact
