We will not accept any violent behavior, or any form of discrimination, racism, or LGBTQ-phobia.

Any gross and/or repeated violation of the center’s rules may lead to your banning from the center.
Use of the kitchen and refreshments
The Center includes a kitchen intended for common use, as well as tableware and utensils that you can use. We support environmental protection through the use of reusable tableware, which is why the kitchen contains glasses, a hot drink station, as well as pitchers for water and hot drinks, plates, bowls, trays, and more.
As part of our effort to minimize harm to the environment and to the animals, no refreshments containing animal products are served at the Trans Center. Please avoid bringing refreshments that contain dairy or meat products, including cow’s milk for coffee. We’ll be happy to advise and answer any questions on this topic, if you have any.
In order to keep the kitchen accessible for those who keep kosher, the kitchen is defined as kosher-dairy. For personal use (not for refreshments served as part of activities), please avoid using the tableware or kitchen utensils (plates, cutlery, chopping boards, etc.) for the handling of food containing meat. Please only heat food containing meat in closed containers that you have brought with you, and eat it with your own personal cutlery rather than the cutlery from the common kitchen.
Please note! The Center’s kitchen contains many allergens. If you have any life-threatening allergies, please talk to us in advance so we can figure out what we can do.
If you have any suggestions for improving accessibility in the center, we would love to hear about it! Please contact us through any of our channels (social networks/WhatsApp/other), or at our mailbox.
