Lunch and Learn: LGBTQ

Welcome to the Fifth Session of The Lunch and Learn: LGBTQ in Israel, A Story of Struggle and Achievements

With the race towards PRIDE month, we will take a look together on the history, achievements, and struggles of the LGBTQ Community in Israel. In a country with strong religious dominance, the LGBTQ community is coping with a complex reality. While Tel Aviv is hosting the largest PRIDE Parade in the Middle East and is a cultural center for the LGBTQ community, there are still struggles for acceptance and civil rights.

In this session we will explore themes such as: 

• What were the achievements of the LGBTQ Community in getting recognition and rights?
• The mixed views of religious Jewish streams in Israel towards the LGBTQ Community
• What are the main struggles of the Israeli LGBTQ community nowadays?
• The LGBTQ community outside of Tel Aviv

Israeli food and drinks will be served!

This event is FREE and open to all. Please REGISTER as space is very limited.
