We're proud to be on this list!

🌈 Sixty-eight places on the South Coast are on the Welcoming Wall, and every one of them is there for a reason we can show you.

It is a real list you can actually use. Restaurants, shops, galleries, health care and plenty more, each one carrying either their own words to us or the public policy we were able to point to 📍

Look your own town up before you try somewhere new: sclgbtqnetwork.org/welcoming-wall

Know a place that belongs on it? You can add a business straight from the wall, and we check every single one before it goes up 💜

Do you have an old Hebrew book lying around that you've been meaning to throw away but haven't, because you heard somewhere that it should be buried? How about a worn out tallis or tallis bag? Or old personal letters you've been meaning to burn?

A week from Sunday we will be burying the community's old and worn-out prayerbooks in a ritual at Mt. Nebo cemetery. Please join us for this rare experience.

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Shabbat: A Celebration of Light, Love, and Belonging

The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network is proud to partner with Congregation Agudath Achim in Taunton for a special Pride Shabbat service, and we would love for you to join us.

This Pride Month, we are coming together for a joyous evening that celebrates the beautiful diversity of our community and the people who make it whole. Shabbat is a time to pause, to give thanks, and to gather in fellowship, and we are honored to share in that tradition with our friends at Agudath Achim as we lift up the dignity, the courage, and the wholeness of our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors.

Expect an evening of song, prayer, reflection, and celebration in a space where all are embraced. Whether you are a longtime member of the congregation, part of our Network family, or simply curious and looking for community, there is a seat at the table for you.

🕯️ Friday, June 5 · 7:00 to 9:00 PM
📍Congregation Agudath Achim, 36 Winthrop Street, Taunton, MA 02780
