Keep Not Silent (Hebrew: את שאהבה נפשי‎ Et Sheaava Nafshi) is a 2004 documentary film by Israeli director Ilil Alexander about three lesbians in Jerusalem.

Lesbianism is generally viewed as forbidden in Orthodox Judaism (see Homosexuality and Judaism). In Jerusalem, a number of Orthodox Jewish lesbians formed a group called OrthoDykes for mutual support and to learn the relevant issues in Jewish law. The film describes lives of three of them. One is Yudit, single and trying to have her same-sex marriage follow the Orthodox rules. Another is Miriam-Ester (pseudonym), who is married to a man and has ten children. She is suppressing her lesbian feelings in order to keep her marriage for religious reasons. Ruth, another married lesbian, keeps her marriage for the same reason, while her husband agrees to her seeing her lover regularly.

Les homosexuels ont été comme tant d'autres les victimes du régime hitlérien. Ils étaient persécutés en vertu du paragraphe 175 du code pénal allemand. Ce paragraphe, datant de 1871, condamnait à la prison "les actes contre nature" entre hommes.
