Join our Senior Legal Director Andy Izenson on Trans Day of Visibility!
Andy will be a guest speaker at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah (CBST), a queer progressive synagogue in Manhattan for their Trans Day of Visibility Shabbat service. Andy's portion of the service will begin around 7:15.
Give your Trans Day of Visibility an added layer of reflection and reverence with this progressive, queer, spiritual service. Services are open to the public and will be live-streamed. People of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome to attend and connect with the community.
Congregation Beit Simchat Torah is New York City’s LGBTQ+ synagogue, a spiritual home for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Passionate, provocative, and deeply Jewish since 1973, CBST is a multi-generational community that prays together, acts for social justice, hosts learning for all ages, cares for our LGBTQ+ elders, and celebrates the newer generations of LGBTQ+ Jews leading us into the future.
If you plan on attending in person, CBST is located at 130 West 30th Street by Penn Station. The live stream will be broadcast at http://cbst.org/livestream

About Sessions Live
Sessions Live is Esther Perel’s annual clinical conference — a two-day gathering for therapists, clinicians, and curious minds who want to think deeply about desire, connection, and vitality in the modern world.
The event blends clinical insight, cultural analysis, and real-world complexity. Rather than offering quick fixes, Sessions Live creates space for thoughtful inquiry, rigorous conversation, and renewed perspective.
This year’s guiding question is:
How do we cultivate aliveness in a time defined by disruptions?
Join our Executive Director, Diana Adams, along with many other exciting guests during this two-day event in New York City, or virtually.

On the evening of Wednesday, October 23, 2024, we held our third annual benefit in New York City, generously hosted in NYC's the Village at the gorgeous private library of Dr. Andrew Solomon and his husband John Habich Solomon.
At this year’s benefit, we were thrilled to honor KATE BORNSTEIN, who has ushered us into a world of limitless possibility, with humor and spunk, through over 30 years of nonbinary activism.
Remarks by CFLC Founder & Executive Director Diana Adams, Senior Legal Director Andy Izenson, nonbinary activist trailblazer Kate Bornstein, and bestselling author & LGBTQ rights activist Dr. Andrew Solomon were given in support a future for all families in New York City and beyond.
Our annual gala is an an inspiring night that attendees have dubbed "the queer formal of their dreams!" We hope you'll join us next year for a night of connection and inspiration to help raise the funds we need to continue our life-saving work!
