Coming Out

As gay, lesbian, and transgender Jews have gained more acceptance within the Jewish community, we have sought a Jewish way for them to "come out" - either publicly to their congregations, or privately to their families.
On Ritualwell, you will find coming-out ceremonies, prayers, and personal accounts.
