  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE The peak body of the international Jewish LGBT+ community is to hold its World Congress in Sydney for the first time in March 2019, bringing a global focus to Sydney and providing a space for ideas, networking and good fun. Keynote speaker - joining a host of local and international presenters - is Australia’s newly-elected Independent Member of Parliament, DR KERRYN PHELPS. Dr Phelps (pictured below, right) and her partner celebrated the first same-sex marriage to take place at Sydney’s Emanuel Synagogue – which is hosting the Congress - after Australia’s historic YES vote in 2017. World Congress - Keshet Ga’avah, the worldwide voice of Jews of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, will bring delegates from the United States, France, Holland, Italy, Latin America, New Zealand, Israel and around the globe. The Congress is hosted by Dayenu – Sydney’s Jewish LGBT+ group, and will take place at the Emanuel Synagogue, Woollahra from 21 to 24 March. The Congress theme “Kol Koleinu” (All Our Voices) comes from the title of the recently published World Congress book, reflecting its vision to create a space where all voices can be heard, dialogue can emerge, and insight and understanding can be nourished. The four-day conference features a host of international speakers addressing Jewish LGBT+ issues, panel discussions, a tour of the Sydney Jewish Museum, entertainment, a harbour cruise and so much more. The interface between Jewish and LGBT+ cultures is a complex one - minorities within minorities. Conference convener, Dayenu’s Kim Gotlieb said the Sydney community was thrilled to have attracted leading facilitators to present sessions on ways to get along with others with more understanding.
