Yom HaAliyah: What “Homebound” really means as a Trans Jew

Yom HaAliyah is an Israeli holiday honoring those who have chosen to move to Israel. Making a choice to honor one’s true self is especially poignant for trans Jews making Aliyah, like Ariel Pereira, who brilliantly captured his journey in “Homebound” published by AWB alum Bishop Megan Rohrer. Learn more about their incredible journey and how a chance encounter at the Be’er Sheva Pride House helped publish this book. With gratitude to the Israel Policy Forum Atid for their co-sponsorship and support of this event.
