News Spotlights Project Kesher Israel’s Support of LGBTQ Refugees

Marking Pride Month, Project Kesher Israel has been featured in eJewish Philanthropy and Yahoo! News for its work supporting LGBTQ individuals who have fled Russia and Ukraine for Israel. The article spotlights Project Kesher Israel CEO Rabbi Olya Weinstein; trusted partner Nicole Maor, director of the Legal Aid Center for Olim (LACO); and same-sex couples who have directly benefited from the organization’s advocacy, programs and community-building.

We invite others to join Project Kesher and its network in our collective efforts to help LGBTQ immigrants and refugees experience the best of Israel, accessing the love and sense of community that is deeply embedded in the Jewish homeland.
