These are auspicious occasions to find life partners as these are also times of the year for introspection\, assessing our values\, and considering what is important to us. Queer Jews often find that traditional Orthodox frameworks around dating don’t account for their experiences. This can feel scary and destabilizing\, but also provides the chance to forge their own path ahead and imagine new possibilities. In this session\, we’ll explore the Jewish values underpinning the halachot of shemirat negiah\, yichud\, consent\, and more\, and what those values could mean for all relationships. We will identify many different ways to engage in the world of dating that honors queer identities and relationships that can still find supportive guidance from halacha and incorporate Torah values. \n \nWhere: Zoom – link will be emailed upon registration\nWhen: Wednesday September 28 7:30 pm ET | 6:30 pm CT | 4:30 pm PT URL:https://www.eshelonline.org/event/torah-values-for-queer-dating/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220929T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220929T214500 DTSTAMP:20260426T143919 CREATED:20200218T173239Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220831T195454Z UID:146094-1664483400-1664487900@www.eshelonline.org SUMMARY:Eshel Brooklyn Women's LBTQ+ Meetup DESCRIPTION:Women’s New York Area Meetup on Zoom \nWhat: Meet other individuals who identify as female and who are exploring their Orthodox LGBTQ+ identities. \nWhen: Meeting Weekly: Every Tuesday from 8:30 pm – 9:45 pm \nWhere: For notifications and sign-in information\, register below.
