Rabbi Denise Eger has been named interim director of A Wider Bridge, a pro-Israel LGBTQ organization, following the departure of its previous director who was charged with sexual misconduct. The group is facing pressures from anti-LGBTQ legislation, actions from the Trump administration, and a rise in anti-Israel sentiment within LGBTQ communities. Eger, a Reform rabbi and LGBTQ Jewish pioneer, is committed to advocating for LGBTQ rights and justice, connecting LGBTQ communities in North America and Israel, and fighting against antisemitism and LGBTQ hate. The group aims to be visible and aggressive against antisemitism, providing resources and support to activists in local communities.
