LGBTQIA+
At Temple Sholom we actively seek to support and affirm all LGBTQIA+ individuals.

Queer Leadership
At Temple Sholom we elevate and empower queer voices. From board meetings to Rabbinical leadership our community involves everyone. Come be a part of planning our next social action initiative, or lead a torah study, we want your unique voice.
Perspectives
"Temple Sholom has been a place of unwavering support, love and affirmation -a true home where I can fully embrace my identity as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Through inclusive teachings, meaningful connections, and a commitment to justice, it has shown me that faith and authenticity go hand-in-hand . I am grateful for a community that not only welcomes me, but celebrates me."​

Our LGBTQIA+ Library
Exciting News! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new LGBTQIA+ section in our library, featuring a curated collection of eight outstanding books, including "Torah Queeries," "Transgender and Jewish," Kate Bornstein's "Gender Outlaw," and Abby Stein's "Becoming Eve."
​
We welcome donations of both Jewish and LGBTQIA+ themed books, as well as monetary contributions or gift cards to help us expand our collection. Our goal is to establish the premier destination in Cincinnati for a diverse range of Jewish LGBTQIA+ literature, offering both fiction and non-fiction for readers of all ages!
