Transgendered Souls, Pretty Boys, and Queer Theology: This is the Stuff You Didn't Learn in Sunday School featuring Jay Michaelson February 10, 2008
Natick, Massachusetts
Keshet is co-sponsoring a Sunday morning workshop with Jay Michaelson, executive director of Nehirim: GLBT Jewish Culture and Spirituality. The workshop is part of Temple Israel of Natick's Scholar in Residence Weekend.
Enough about Leviticus! Two verses of the Torah are not all that Judaism has to say about sexual diversity. In this workshop Jay will present a range of fascinating texts, some familiar (Jacob, Joseph, David and Jonathan), some less so (Lurianic Kabbalah, medieval poetry) to explore some of the ways in which "queer" sexuality has been expressed in the Jewish tradition. Prepare to be challenged, inspired, outraged, and above all surprised.
Open to non-Temple members. Cost is $5, breakfast included. For more information call 508.650.3521 or visit www.tiofnatick.org.
Keshet works for the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Jewish in Jewish life. www.keshetonline.org
