sfjcf  > LGBT > Jews March for Pride! San Francisco Pride Parade 2009!
Inspired by our core Jewish value that every human being is created betzelem elohim, in the image of the divine, the Bay Area Jewish community organized to march in San Francisco's Annual Pride Parade Sunday, June 28. These are a few of our photos.


Together our contingent featured the overarching message: we are the Jewish community; we are diverse; we overwhelmingly support marriage equality. 600 people (including over 60 Jewish groups & over 20 Rabbi's) joined us for the 1.5 mile march down market street ending at Civic Center.



Thank you to Dr. Rita Alfonzo for being our volunteer professional photographer for the day, http://tinyurl.com/MorePridePhotos and to the Eckstein family owners of the Beale Street Bar and Grill where we enjoyed a Kosher breakfast before the march.


Additionally, thank you, thank you, thank you: Rabbi James Brandt, Rabbi Sydney Mintz, Rachel Biale, Margee Churchon, Paul Cohn, Jacob Goldstein, Karen Bluestone, Kol Tzedek, JCRC, Carrie Rice, Progressive Jewish Alliance, Joy Powers, Ken Kramarz, Rabbi Doug Kahn, Congregation Sha'ar Zahav, Eytan Elterman, Congregation Rodef Shalom, Susan Krauss, Temple Sinai of Oakland, Congregation Emanu-El, Roxanne Cohen, Denise Ron, Maxine Epstein, Jessica Trubowitch, Kim Carter, Jasmine Blanchard, Mike Yaminsky, Lital Carmel, Roberta Brooks, Meryl Klein, Judith Shmueli, Jacob & Jeremy Elliott, Sister Shameless, Marty and Meagan Fox, Marty Rawlings-Fein, Rabbi Marv Goodman, Dr. Donny Inbar, Nancy Brunn, Vanessa Eissman, Lynne Belmont… trust us, it took the whole community to get us together and this is only the partial list. Thank you!

Dawn C. Kepler's work explores the complexities of interfaith relationships in a warm and supportive atmosphere.  Dawn wrote after the march, "I'’m glad we were there, not just for the Jews.  I have several young friends who are not Jewish.  Their strict Christian families give them negative messages about their identity.  They need to know that they are good people and that we love them completely for who they are.  I loved putting pix on my Facebook page because they can see their parents’ generation celebrating them."
