Our Melbourne chapter has grown significantly over the last five years, with people travelling long distances to attend the monthly meetings in the city. A number of people travel from the outer East and so we’re experimenting with a social f2b get together to strengthen the connections that have already been made, plus make some new ones with those that are not able to make the Melbourne meetings. These dinners are run with all the same guidelines as a regular chapter meeting, but will not have the speaker/discussion component. PLUS they will be family friendly so children can attend.

The details for the first outer eastern f2b dinner:

Thursday 6th June, 6:30pm at Sofias Restaurant -99 Maroondah Highway, Croydon.

RSVP to Matt Glover @ matt@mgacounselling.com.au or 0478 651 951. Children welcome!

A variety of views about homosexuality exist in the Orthodox Jewish community, but the majority of leadership agree to prohibit same-sex conduct. As in many other religions, one of the biggest challenges gay & lesbian orthodox Jews face is reconciling faith with sexuality.

This amazing documentary follows several orthodox jews as they face this difficult challenge each day. Also featured are several interviews conducted with rabbis and psychologists regarding their views on homosexuality.

Join us on June 7th as we take a look at “Trembling Before G-d”, described by one critic as “…a testimony of anguish and joy, Trembling is a tribute to the human spirit, if not to the institutions that seek to define it.”
