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 gloe@edcjcc.org.)
