Montclair Synagoge Celebrates Marriage Equality Today
The community is invited to Bnai Keshet in Montclair at 5:45 pm. today for a short ceremony celebrating Marriage Equality, following a unanimous state Supreme Court decision Friday allowing same-sex marriage to commence earlier this week.
As part of its ceremony, Bnai Keshet will replace its decade-old banner, "Bnai Keshet Supports Marriage Equality" with a rainbow-colored one, "Bnai Keshet Celebrates Marriage Equality in New Jersey."
New Jersey became the first state to allow gay marriage since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Actstrike down
