3 ways to celebrate Pride Month with JFS 

JFS at Pride Fest

You’re invited to join JFS staff, Board members, family, and friends to participate in Denver’s 2026 PRIDE celebrations as part of a unified Jewish community presence and demonstration of inclusivity coordinated by the JCC Denver, honor diversity, and support the LGBTQIA+ community.  

At JFS, we believe we all have an obligation to make the world a better place and a shared responsibility to support impactful changes throughout our community. We strive to make that happen daily regardless of a person’s circumstances, age, ethnicity, race, faith, income, ability, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Pride Month is an opportunity to unite, honor diversity, spark awareness of the community’s current issues, and bring change to our everyday lives to strengthen our community. 

We are excited to partner with the Staenberg-Loup Jewish Community Center and other local organizations and congregations to show a united Jewish presence at Denver PRIDE. Here are a few ways you can join us and show your support for the LGBTQIA+ community. 

Pride Shabbat at the JCC on June 26 (Kabbalat Shabbat Service and Shabbat dinner) 

Organized and led by LGBTQIA+ leaders in our community, Pride Shabbat will start with Kabbalat Shabbat service (Friday night service that welcomes Shabbat) that is built around celebrating the joy of Shabbat and the joy of Pride. Everyone is welcome to join for Kabbalat Shabbat, although registration is requested. A live stream of this service will be available. Shabbat dinner following the service is an additional fee on a sliding scale with hardship pricing available. Register here.
