Virtual Event
Judaism and LGBTQ+ Identity with Rabbi Eger
June 16 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Virtual Event
Join Rabbi Eger as she teaches us how to use Jewish sacred texts to advocate for substantive change in Judaism toward LGBTQ+ inclusion and celebration.
In this session, Rabbi Eger will address critical questions like:
- What do our core Jewish texts say about LGBTQ+ love and relationships?
- How has religion historically been weaponized against queer people?
- Why does it matter?
- Is there space for queer Jews in Judaism?
- How do we practice concepts like Btzelem Elohim or seeing G-D in each of us?
- What does it mean to actualize social justice in today’s world?
