Queering the Torah: Purim Playfulness

Queering a text means to read, explore, and connect to that text through a queer lens; it’s a queer reading of source material. Queering the Torah means we explore all things Jewish (texts, sources, traditions, rituals, etc) through the lens of LGBTQIA+ identities. Through this exploration, our aims are to connect our queer identities to our Judaism, to create a safe space for sharing, and to establish a sense of community, camaraderie, and belonging.

Join Rabbi Jenna for a text study that uncovers the queerness in the Purim story and celebration. We will draw connections between the themes of this holiday to our lived queer experiences.

This learning experience is designed specifically for folks who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

This gathering will be held in DC - for location details, please sign up below by March 6th.
