Summer Beit Midrash - Locating LGBTQIA Identity in Jewish Texts with Cantor Sarah Bolts
Tuesday, July 25, 2023 • 7 Av 5783
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Locating LGBTQIA Identity in Jewish Texts
with Cantor Sarah Bolts
While popular discourse might suggest otherwise, we can find many positive depictions of same-sex relationships and gender nonconformity in biblical and rabbinic texts. We will study some of these texts and discuss how and where LGBTQIA people can see themselves reflected in the Jewish tradition.
