SUMMARY:Ancestral Allyship AWB Author Chat with Rabbi Mike Moskowitz
DESCRIPTION:Join A Wider Bridge in conversation with Rabbi Mike Moskowitz\, Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah\, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ congregation\, located in New York City on his latest book Ancestral Allyship. He is simultaneously a deeply traditional and radically progressive LGBTQ+ advocate. \nTuesday\, September 16 at 2pm (Eastern)\nSign up\nHis three ordinations from Ultra-Orthodox yeshivas enable him to reach communities others cannot\, helping them navigate traditional values while fostering acceptance and understanding\, and providing authoritative Halakhic guidance that embraces LGBTQ+ people. \nIn Ancestral Allyship\, he explores the weekly Torah parsha as a practice of allyship – a response by someone of privilege to the oppression or affliction of another. Allyship is necessary only when the unity of our humanity has already broken down. In the Jewish tradition\, we are obligated to prevent this breakdown proactively. When we attach ourselves to God’s expectations of ethical living\, cleaving to an ideal way of being\, we strive to create a world free from all forms of dehumanization. This book\, rooted in the knowledge that how we treat each other defines our religious identity\, helps us to move closer toward it. \nAbout Rabbi Mike Moskowitz\nRabbi Mike Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah\, the world’s largest LGBTQ+ congregation\, located in New York City. He received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir in Jerusalem and in Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood\, NJ. He is a David Hartman Center Fellow\, and Wexner Field Fellow. \n
