From Keshet:
This year, more than 1,100 Jewish clergy have signed a public letter affirming their commitment to the dignity and rights of transgender and LGBTQ+ people. Now, four of those signatories are coming together to talk about what comes next.
Whether you’re a clergy member, lay leader, or community member looking to turn commitment into action, this conversation will offer grounding, strategy, and inspiration for the work ahead.

The FSB raided an associated Support Centre for homeless and disabled people in 2025, but administrative charges were dismissed and a criminal case has not reached court. Holy Trinity Protestant Church in Balashikha near Moscow faced inspections from numerous state agencies and another fine.

WYM ModHeather Cox Richardson reveals a disturbing trend: the Defense Department recently slashed recognized religions, mostly Christian denominations, violating Madison's 1789 warning against government favoritism. This move even spurred Senator Mike Lee to object after the Church of Latter-day Saints was excluded. When government picks religious winners, self-governance fails.
