A trip to Israel for LGBTQ people from across the United States and Canada has been scheduled from May 26 to June 2, 2016.
The trip, which will take place during Tel Aviv Pride Week, will include four nights in Tel Aviv and three in Jerusalem. Organized by the Jewish Federations of North America, the itinerary will include meetings with LGBTQ politicians and business leaders and sessions on LGBTQ rights in Israel.
Locally, the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation is inviting people to sign up for the Bay Area contingent. Chair Sam Goldman notes that an “early-bird registration special with a reduced deposit of $500” is being offered until Dec. 15.
