Elech envisions a dynamic and inclusive collective where Queer Jews in Cincinnati find belonging, connection, and celebration. We are committed to creating a vibrant space where LGBTQ Jewish individuals and their families can come together outside traditional synagogue life to engage in Jewish culture, holidays, and community-building. Our vision is to foster a thriving, interconnected community where Queer Jews can fully participate, celebrate their identities, and form lasting bonds.

elech is Cincinnati's Queer Jewish Community that fosters belonging for members of our community.
No! And we’re not a synagogue, and our leaders aren’t always rabbis.
Not necessarily. We’re a radically welcoming community, come as you are. please be mindful of intentionally creating a safe and validating space for queer people to practice jewishly, together.
We celebrate a variety of Jewish and secular holidays on an annual basis, such as Purim, Passover, Pride, Tu B'Av, Sukkot, and Thanksgiving. You can find descriptions of each holiday on the individual event pages and we encourage discussion about the holidays at each event.
The organizers of elech are all volunteers, so events can only happen as frequently as these volunteers can plan them. If you'd like to organize an event with elech, please reach out! We are happy to provide resources to make anyone's elech event successful.
elech has limited financial resources, so we have to be selective with sponsorships. Please email with your event information, and we will get back to you about our availability.
The best way to get in touch is to come to our next event. Stay in touch through our email list to hear about all upcoming events!
