Description

Austin... we're coming.

Texas, it's time for us to dust off our cowboy boots.

We're so excited to kick off Austin Pride weekend with a special Gay Shabbat hosted by one of our community members, Dani.

As Gay Shabbat continues to grow, one of our biggest goals is empowering LGBTQ+ Jews around the world to create community in their own cities. Rather than always simply hosting events ourselves, we're building a network of local hosts who want to bring the LGBTQ+ Jews together, in a park, by a pool, or wherever community happens. We hope this is just the beginning of many more community-led Gay Shabbats across the globe.

Join us for a relaxed Shabbat by the pool with great food and connection before Austin Pride festivities begin the next day.

What's Included

✓ A poolside Shabbat gathering

✓ A kosher-style Mediterranean dinner featuring chicken shawarma, falafel, arayes, Israeli salads, challah, hummus, baba ghanoush, matbucha, schug, etc.

✓ Sparkling water, hard seltzers, and wine for Kiddush

✓ A welcoming community and the perfect way to kick off Austin Pride weekend

What to Bring

✓ Swimsuit

✓ Towel

✓ Sunscreen

✓ Whatever else you need for an evening by the pool

A special thank you to JBORHOOD Dallas for being a community partner and helping spread the word throughout the Texas LGBTQ+ Jewish community.

See y'all soon.
