Jewish? Orthodox? Gay?
You Are Not Alone



Welcome to JQY!

JQY is a nonprofit organization supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Jews and their families in the Orthodox community.

Our mission is to address the unique needs of LGBT frum* and formerly frum Jews. JQY is dedicated to cultivating a Jewish community where no one feels alone, bullied or silenced because of their orientation or gender identity. Special attention is given to youth, young adults and their families; however we have programs for all ages.

JQY programming reflects the support, community building, and awareness/advocacy needs of our community. To find out more about our programs, click the links below or visit our programs page.
