Ethan Felson, the former executive director of the Israel Action Network, assumes a new role as the executive director of A Wider Bridge, an organization focused on creating connections between LGBTQ+ leaders and Israel, educating and advocating for their communities’ concerns, and providing targeted support to relevant Israeli projects.
Felson said that under his leadership, A Wider Bridge will continue activism on issues like Black Lives Matter. The organization signed onto letters of support for BLM that came out of the LGBTQ community and the Jewish community, he said. “We are going to be a voice against homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism, and for inclusion, civility and racial justice.”
Felson replaces Tyler Gregory, who left A Wider Bridge earlier this year to head the Jewish Community Relations Council of San Francisco.
