GLENS FALLS — Temple Beth El, a Reform Jewish congregation located at 3 Marion Ave., Glens Falls, will host a Pride Shabbat service on Friday, June 19, beginning at 7 p.m. The service will be held in the sanctuary and is open to the entire community. No prior experience with Jewish prayer or tradition is required. Guests are encouraged to come as they are.

According to congregational organizers, Pride Shabbat is an annual tradition in many Reform Jewish communities that honors the intersection of Jewish values and LGBTQ+ inclusion. The service brings together worship and celebration, affirming that love, dignity, and belonging are central to Jewish life. Temple Beth El’s Pride Shabbat reflects the congregation’s commitment to the principle that all are created in the image of the divine — and that all are welcome.
