The Open House has been organizing the Pride and Tolerance Parade in Jerusalem for almost two decades. Since , we have been marching in Jerusalem in a stubborn battle for its presence in our metropolis, for our right to liberty, equality, personal security and public space, and to promote pluralism and tolerance.

In Jerusalem, a city where miracles happen every day, the pride is another tiny miracle that manages to combine the multifaceted character of the city and the multifaceted traits of the haughty community.

Since the first parade in the parade has been accompanied by extremist forces seeking to prevent its existence. These attempts culminated in two stabbing incidents, in the summer of and in the summer of , when the late Shira Banki, not yet 16 years old, was murdered in Shani, who came to march with her friends. In the face of such a heinous manifestation of blind hatred, we have experienced great support in recent years. Every summer, tens of thousands of Israelis from all over the country and from diverse sectors and publics saunter with us hand in hand, as well as guests

Jerusalem Pride Parade Marks a Decade Since Shira Banki’s Murder, Balancing Grief, Protest, and Pride

Under tight security, the annual event honored a murdered teen while also becoming a platform for disagree, remembrance, and political expression

Thousands marched in Jerusalem on Thursday in the city’s 23rd annual Pride Celebration, commemorating 10 years since year-old Shira Banki was stabbed to death by a religious extremist during the march. With Israel at war in Gaza, hostages still held captive, and LGBTQ+ rights under pressure, the parade became a complex mix of grief, defiance, and political expression.
