Mission & Vision

Educate. Connect. Advocate. Build community.

Our mission is to educate, connect, advocate, and build community at the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity, Jewish identity, and Israel—while advancing dignity, equality, safety, democratic values, and mutual understanding for all.

Our mission

Educate

Workshops, curricula and resources on queer history, antisemitism and pluralism.

Connect

Delegations, chapter events and exchanges that put people in the same room.

Advocate

Representing an often-silenced perspective in LGBTQ+ and civic spaces.

Build community

Creating belonging where LGBTQ+ identity, Jewish identity and Israel can coexist.

Our vision

A world where pride and belonging live together

We imagine LGBTQ+ communities where connection to Israel is met with curiosity rather than suspicion, and Israeli society where queer life is fully at home.

Queers For Israel seeks to help build a future in which being LGBTQ+ and being Jewish are never treated as contradictory identities, Jewish self-determination and human dignity are respected, and every person is able to live free from persecution, hatred, and fear.

Wholeness

No one should have to leave part of their identity at the door.

Curiosity

We ask better questions before we make louder statements.

Pluralism

Many voices, many traditions, one shared table.

Joy

Pride is a celebration, and celebration is a strategy.
