This year, Congregation Beit Simchat Torah (CBST) was invited to join with 17 other organizations in the Resistance Coalition that led the LGBTQ Pride March on June 25th in New York City. Our goal was to bring a clear and consistent message of resistance to the Trump Administration’s threats to American democracy, and tochechah — reproach — of Trump’s victimization of the most vulnerable members of our society: immigrants and refugees, Muslims, Queer youth, and trans people.
