Rosh Hashanah Tent at VA Pridefest

What happens when one of Judaism's holiest holidays and one of Richmond's most joyful celebrations fall on the same day?

Something beautiful.

This year, Kehillah invites you to visit our Rosh Hashanah Sacred Space at VA Pridefest—a welcoming place to pause, reflect, connect, and celebrate the Jewish New Year in the heart of Pride. Whether you're Jewish, LGBTQ+, both, neither, or simply curious, you'll find a warm and inclusive space designed to help you begin the New Year with intention and community.

What You'll Find

🍎 High Holiday blessing cards to inspire your New Year
📖 Free Jewish prayer books and spiritual resources
🍬 Rosh Hashanah-themed and candies
🌈 Free LGBTQ+ Jewish giveaways
💬 Opportunities to connect with members of Richmond's Jewish community
❤️ A welcoming environment where every identity is celebrated

Why This Matters

For nearly eight years, Kehillah has proudly been the only Jewish presence at VA Pridefest. This year is especially meaningful as Pride and Rosh Hashanah come together, creating a unique opportunity to celebrate both Jewish identity and LGBTQ+ pride.

You should never have to choose between your Jewish community and your LGBTQ+ community. Whether you stay for five minutes or an hour, we'd love to meet you.

Find Kehillah's Rosh Hashanah Sacred Space at VA Pridefest beginning at Noon. You do not need to RSVP on this page, unless you would like to give a donation to support our booth at Pride.
