Hineni Session 3 - Queer Jewish Soul: Leading New LGBTQ Pathways into Jewish Spiritual Life
|
For many, if not most Jewish people today, Judaism and Jewish
spirituality can fall short. The complexities and knowledge level
required for much of Jewish ritual life can be challenging and even
alienating. These difficulties can be all the more magnified for some in
the LGBTQ community, who struggle with all the ways our Patriarchal
tradition has oppressed us through generations. In this seminar, we will
look deeply into Jewish prayer and ritual and discover points of
meaning and power that can speak to the LGBTQ experience. Together, we
will explore how these insights can help us connect better to Jewish
spiritual life. Finally, we will explore how we can lift up our insights
to make Judaism a richer experience for all Jewish people.
This program is open to all people, LGBTQ and allies – Jewish and
non-Jewish. No previous knowledge of Judaism or Jewish texts is
required. (For accessibility/accommodation requests, please email
