Rabbi Kleinbaum Talks About Obama's Fundraiser in Metro Weekly
Rabbi Kleinbaum is quoted in a Metro Weekly article on Obama's LGBT fundraiser, called "Progress Meets Marriage."
Here's an excerpt from the article:
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah – a gay synagogue in New York City – took a less global view and focused instead on positive changes in America. Reflecting on the historical nature of the event, she said, ''It was very moving. … The folks who started our synagogue in 1973 could not have imagined a president of the United States having a fundraiser specifically with the gay community, saying he stands for full equality of LGBT Americans. So, that is very moving to me.''
She added, though, of her and her congregation, ''We really look forward to getting to a point of complete equality,'' pointing specifically to marriage equality.
