JPride Weekend
“Joy is an act of spiritual resistance.” Rabbi Sharon Brous
At a time when hate and hostility feel louder than ever, we are choosing something different. We are choosing to lead with PRIDE, with compassion, and with unity.
Rather than be defined by exclusion or division, our Jewish community across San Diego is coming together to create something new. A space that uplifts LGBTQ+ Jews and our allies. A space filled with joy, celebration, and connection. A space where everyone can feel seen, safe, and proud.
This is not just a reaction—it’s a declaration. We believe in showing up not in anger, but in purpose. Not to retreat, but to rejoice. We are creating a celebration that honors who we are, the values we hold, and the future we’re building together.
Join us as we step forward—with courage, with love, and with joy.
