Unpack and discuss three ancient Torah texts that celebrate all of us in our queerest fullness. All are welcome, no Hebrew background needed

The Torah presents us with the creation of a kaleidoscopic, varied, diverse, and most of all, interconnected world. Far from discouraging difference, this sacred text celebrates the curious and the queer, the unique and unconventional. Each human being is a holy one-off, never to be repeated again in all of time, and yet each person is inextricably linked to the whole of humanity. To celebrate the end of Pride Month, we invite you to come learn with Maggid Jhos Singer to unpack and discuss three ancient Torah texts that celebrate all of us in our queerest fullness. All are welcome, no Hebrew background needed.

QueerCore Talmud is a new style of old-school Jewish learning – rigorous and radical, traditional and transformative, empowering and engaging. QueerCore Talmud engages your mind, heart and spirit.
