Join us Friday, June 2nd, as we kick off Pride month with a special Shabbat. We are delighted to welcome Author Jonathan Branfman, who will be presenting his recently-published Yiddish LGBTQ youth guide, which is the first of its kind.

Jonathan is a postdoctoral fellow in Jewish Studies at Stanford. He researches race, masculinity, and Jewish identity in popular media. His work invites Jewish, feminist, queer, critical race, and media studies to grasp how historical anti-Semitism shapes present-day U.S. visual culture, and how Jewish stars harness this stigma to enter America's core cultural debates.

Dinner will begin at 6:00 pm, followed by Jonathan's presentation at 6:45 pm, and Kabbalat Shabbat at 7:45 pm.
