Welcome! Nehirim is a national, nondenominational organization which builds community for Jewish members of sexual and gender minorities. Our retreats, shabbatonim, and other programs change lives! Through this work, we welcome GLBT Jews into the Jewish community, and in turn, build a more vibrant, diverse, and inclusive Jewish community by incorporating the gifts of GLBT people.

Join Nehirim and our partners at Jews March for Pride, at this year's San Francisco Pride Parade. Click here for more information.

Being queer and Jewish is a gift, not a predicament! GLBT Jews have unique perspectives on God, community, love, Torah, and Israel -- and we have a remarkable, hidden history of generations of scholars, mystics, and poets. Nehirim is about celebrating our gifts, building our community, and inspiring queer Jews of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of observance to claim their heritage.
