Nearly 700 Hillel
professionals will have access to the organization's
new LGBTQ Resource Guide when they meet in Washington, D.C.,
for an annual staff conference December 17–20.
The resource guide provides tools for welcoming and
working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and
queer Jewish students on college campuses, according to a
press release. Hillel runs community centers and other
organizations for Jewish collegians.
"There exists a
common belief that religious groups are not open to
the LGBTQ community," D'ror Chankin-Gould, editor of the
resource guide and Jewish Campus Service Corps senior
fellow at Columbia University and Barnard College,
said in a press release. "This guide is helping Hillel
break down barriers and cultivate an inclusive,
welcoming home for all Jewish students." (The
