Play on Words: An Alternative Forward

By Beth Schwartzapfel
Wed. Jan 23, 2008

When members of San Francisco's Congregation Sha'ar Zahav receive their synagogue's newsletter, they get a copy of the Forward. The Jewish Gaily Forward, that is. Founded in 1977 as a synagogue for "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual Jews, together with partners, family and friends," Sha'ar Zahav has the unique position of being a gay synagogue in what is arguably the nation's gayest city. So it's only fitting that its newsletter should evoke its Jewish-ness... with a twist.
