Jewish Mosaic

Jewish Mosaic partners with Jewish organizations of every denomination to create a world where all Jews are fully included in communal life, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Because of homophobia and heterosexism, many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) Jews “assimilate” and hide their identities in order to participate in the Jewish world. Jewish Mosaic asserts a vision of “transformative integration” where Jews neither have to assimilate nor remain separate; rather, Jewish institutions transform to include and welcome all forms of Jewish difference. 

Based in Denver, Colorado with a regional office in San Francisco, Jewish Mosaic connects locally-based GLBT Jewish advocacy groups with one another; keeps GLBT issues on the agendas of national Jewish institutions; conducts national policy research; and provides GLBT resources, education and consulting. 

Jewish Mosaic “addresses an underserved population” helping make “necessary organizational policy changes in Jewish institutions.” Gregg Drinkwater is an “expert in this field” and a great resource for organizations and communities nationwide.
