The view inside our Jewish Community Outreach booth at Pride this summer.

For the past several years my work has allowed me to partner with several organizations at our two-day Jewish Community Outreach booth at San Francisco Pride.

Lisa Finkelstein the Director of the LGBT Alliance holding a young girl on her lap while coloring at the Contemporary Jewish Museum's table.

Four Jewish Community professionals stopped by our booth during their fun times at Pride. Take a look at more photos of these friends on our facebook page.

The partners we choose is based on their continuous efforts in distinguishing themselves as partners in the work of celebrating our diverse LGBT Jewish community.

Thank you to the Contemporary Jewish Museum (CJM) and Be’chol Lashon, meaning In Every Tongue in Hebrew, who contributed as primary partners to the San Francisco Pride Jewish Community outreach booth.

Johnny, our Contemporary Jewish Museum volunteer, proudly holds up the Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas paper doll cutouts that provided a fun activity for kids of all ages to work with.

A next huge thank you to the professional partners of Kol TzedekKeshetNehirimA Wider BridgeNUJLS and Congregation Sha’ar Zahav for making this year such a success.Two women smile in front of the Gertrude Stein backdrop.

An additional thank you needs to be extended to Sierra Gonzalez, the Marketing & Audience Strategy Associate at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), for loaning us the Backdrop depicting Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas’s Salon at their famous 27 Rue de Fleur apartment in Paris taken in 1934.

This woman stopped by proudly wearing her Exiles shirt. The Exiles meets below where the Mission Minyan gathers on Friday evenings inside the Women's Building. The Exiles are a non-profit educational group for women who have a positive personal interest in BDSM between women in San Francisco. The group provides educational events where women with all levels of experience will have a safe place to meet, explore and share information about safety, play techniques and resources, and connect with the leather community locally.

These three Cheer LA folks stopped by to see one of our incredible leaders. The woman in the center of this photo is the sister of Erik Ludwig, the Chief Operating Officer of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research (IJCR) and Bechol Lashon. Cheer LA is committed to helping organizations who are working so hard on the front lines of the AIDS epidemic.

A young woman at our SF Pride booth loves taking a shot in front of the SFMOMA backdrop of the photo of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas’s home at 27 Rue de Fleur in Paris, 1934. Thanks again to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
