Description

April 2 Toronto The group Gay Jews for Gay Rights was formed. It was soon renamed Ha Mishpacha, began publishing a newsletter in May 1976, and sponsored social-recreational events, religious and cultural discussions, and political action for Jewish gays. On March 3, 1978, it officially became part of a new gay synagogue named Congregation B'nai Kehillah. (See March 3, 1978.) Early organizers of Ha Mishpacha included Don Drutz, Harvey Hamburg and Joey Shulman.
