Congregation Or Chadash's Hidur Keshet program is a recipient of the first round of $5,000 Breakthrough Fund mini-grants from the Jewish United Fund ( JUF )/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago.
Congregation Or Chadash, 5959 N. Sheridan Rd., serves Chicago's LGBTQ Jewish community, as well as its friends and allies.
Hidur Keshet will create a space for LGBTQ Jewish individuals to connect with the extended Jewish community through program content that links gay history, gender identity, and Judaism.
The first round of mini-grants aims to kickstart a range of efforts quickly. The ultimate goal is to award $1 million in Breakthrough Fund grants annually for new programs. |
