    Partnership with the LGBTQ Committee:

    The Inclusion Committee partners with the LGBTQ Concerns Committee to address relevant issues in our Synagogue and School.  Together, we aim to make Congregation Rodeph Sholom welcoming for all of our members and all kinds of families. Our LGBTQ community gathers annually for a celebratory dinner.

    “I would say that Rodeph Sholom has become our second home. While the congregation is large, most everyone is so personal and thoughtful. Did I mention we are a Gay headed family? At Rodeph Sholom, we feel like we are just another active congregational/school family!…” Click here to read the full testimonial from our member, Steven Fuchs.
