Trans Day of Remembrance

November 20, 2023 / 7 Kislev 5784

November 20 is Trans Day of Remembrance, a sacred day in which we honor the memories of our trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming family and friends that we have lost to acts of anti-transgender violence. 

TDOR Yortzeit Candle 

CBST has partnered with Keshet to create a Trans Day of Remembrance Yortzeit Candle Sticker. If your observance permits, we ask you to share a picture of your Trans Day of Remembrance Yortzeit Candle on social media to honor those we have lost and to promote the visibility of this sacred day. Hashtags: #TDOR #TDOR2023 #FromMourningToLiberation #TDORyortzeitcandle #TransDayOfRemembrance If you have a printer and a yortzeit candle, you can print out the sticker here and place it on your candle, otherwise feel free to simply share the photo. Take a look at other TDOR resources from Keshet here.

Please join as we commemorate Trans Day of Remembrance in our Shabbat evening services – all are welcome.
