Rachel Sussman Dazzles at JQY Gala

A Night Of Pride At The Jqy Gala

Rachel Sussman was still in a daze after attending last night’s Jewish Queer Youth gala, where so many beloved humans gathered to support @jewishqueeryouth and their work ensuring at-risk queer and trans Jewish young people have a safe space to thrive. In her Instagram caption, she thanked @therachfried and everyone who made the event possible, saying they “made this lil Jewish queer lady feel like an icon.” Founded in 2001, Jewish Queer Youth provides free mental health services, support groups and emergency grants to LGBTQ+ Jewish teens and young adults—especially those from religiously non-accepting communities.

Style Moment

Sussman turned heads in a violet Rachel Antonoff jumpsuit, cinched at the waist, paired with Stuart Weitzman heels. Her look was curated by stylist @mulsymouse, with hair and makeup by @amandathesenbeauty. The sleek silhouette and bold color choice underscored her status as both a style maven and community advocate.

In a previous post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DHHXrd2PPuS/), Sussman shared how she’s become “incredibly passionate” about JQY’s life-affirming work, calling it a “surreal honor to be the recipient of this award” and encouraging followers to donate. Her ongoing support highlights the nonprofit’s mission to foster self-love and resilience among vulnerable youth, especially in today’s challenging political climate.

By blending activism with red-carpet flair, Rachel Sussman’s presence at the JQY gala reaffirmed her commitment to LGBTQ+ causes. Her heartfelt gratitude and standout style moment left fans and fellow advocates inspired for what’s next.
