Chicago’s Jewish federation is establishing what is believed to be the first federation fund in North America designated for gay and lesbian needs. The Jewish Lesbian and Gay Fund will raise and allocate money to educate the Jewish community about gay and lesbian concerns, provide services for gay and lesbian Jews and mobilize Jewish support for anti-homophobia initiatives, among other initiatives.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
