The Torah introduces us to God\, first with a strange plurality (Elohim) and then with male pronouns and verbs. The more personal name of God\, YHVH conveys more ambiguity as it employs the typically feminine ending letter\, hey. However\, you read it\, creation from the start is occupied with questions of gender. \nDr. Ben Baader is an associate professor of European and Jewish history at the University of Manitoba. Ben has long been addressing questions of gender\, sexuality\, and religion with the tools of a historian and the soul of a religious seeker. He will discuss conceptual frameworks\, share some of his personal narratives\, reflect on rabbinic Judaism and lived spirituality from a trans perspective\, and invite us to explore how transgender experience might enrich the fabric of Orthodox communities \nThe three-part series is entitled: “Trans-in-Sight”: Gender\, Borderlands and Radiance and will occur on three Tuesdays 12-1pm\, August 25\, Sept 1 and Sept 8. Please register soon for the whole series (or any part of it). \nThe series is complimentary. However\, a suggested donation of $54 will be greatly appreciated. You may also sponsor the series. \nPart 1: The Paradox of Gender: Both Real and all Air and Light \nIn this session\, I will discuss the workings of gender\, based on scholarship of gender theory. I will also compare gender to how Jewishness operates\, and I like to draw attention to the dazzling shininess and complexity of these configurations. The very sturdiness of male\, female\, and Jewish seems to be grounded in the fact that these concepts are fluid and evade narrow definitions. Like the Sacred expressed in Jewish textuality\, they are multivalent and radically contingent in their core. \nPart 2: Transgender as an Opening into Radiance \nThis session will be heavily autobiographic\, using and expanding on my published text. In my experience\, transgender and transcendence are made of the same fabric. The fright and awe of liminal spaces\, moments\, and bodies can create openings for the flow of intense light and joy. Gender instability and indeterminacy can be luminous\, and I like to talk about how I try to cultivate this access to the Holy. \nPart 3: Trans People and the Rest of Us In this session \nIn this session\, I wish to think about the role of trans people in Orthodox communities. I argue that transness is not only something to be overcome by successful gender transition\, to be accommodated on compassionate grounds\, and to be hidden from sight\, but it is also a space from which we have something to give and to teach. Both the heterosexual and patriarchal norm\, and the liminality of transness and queerness are sites of divine presence. \nRegister Today!

Steve Greenberg DESCRIPTION:In honor of Tu B’Av \nRomantic Love as a Religious Value: The Teachings of R. Yitzchok Eizek of Slobodka \nby R. Steve Greenberg \nIn a twenty-five page pamphlet written in the early 1900s for his students\, this key figure in the Mussar movement opens up a discourse of sexual expression grounded in love that is radically different from his peers. While he does not make the translation to LGBTQ+ relationships for us\, he offers a portrayal of romantic love that is both deeply religious and profoundly human. \nPlease click here to register to receive the login details.

She has worked in the field of Jewish education as a teacher\, consultant\, mentor and coach. Prior to joining Luria\, Amanda spent two years working with new teachers and administrators across the country\, running professional development seminars\, and working with them on best practices in building classroom communities\, classroom management\, and developing curriculum. She taught elementary and middle school Judaic studies for 7 years. A trained mentor through the Jewish New Teacher Prt\, Amanda mentored teachers for the Davidson School at JTS\, the Pardes Educators program\, and the Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan.

Amanda is a graduate of the Pardes Educators Program\, has a Masters in Jewish Education from Hebrew University and a BA from Barnard College. She co-founded Altshul\, an independent egalitarian minyan in Brooklyn\, in 2005.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rabbi Ari Segal serves as Head of School at Shalhevet High School in Los Angeles CA.

After we launched the High School Pledge campaign\, we worked closely with yeshiva day school alumnae to appeal to their alma maters to create open inclusion policies. Ten out of approximately 50 modern Orthodox day schools in the US have since adapted inclusion policies for the LGBTQ students. We consider this a great success of the campaign\, but there is still more work to be done. \nThis gathering will bring together a number of dedicated educators who work in Orthodox day schools. These attendees have already given thought to inclusive policies and practices in their day schools and will share how they created LGBTQ inclusive spaces. \nThis symposium will also be open to others for whom LGBTQ inclusion is not an obvious nor easy step to take but who want to get ideas about how to move forward.

Steve Greenberg DESCRIPTION:Wrestling with God and Men: A Six-part Series on Sex\, Gender\, Power and Love \nwith Rabbi Steve Greenberg \nRegister here! \nIn 2004 Rabbi Steve Greenberg’s groundbreaking book appeared on shelves in the US and created a new starting point for exploring the Jewish tradition’s engagement with same-sex love and relationship. Join Rabbi Greenberg in May and June as he lays out in six sessions the key insights of his book\, along with an interview with Joy Ladin on her new book. The series closes with a presentation on what’s been accomplished and what remains to be done. \n\n\nIn the Beginning: Creation and Sex – May 13th 2pm ET\n\nStarting with the key texts in Genesis and Leviticus we will begin our exploration in order to lay out the fundamental questions that the texts raise\, both for us and in us. Close reading will help us meet the twin challenges of personal meaning making and society building which these verses offer us. \n\nThe Body and the Mind: Making Sense of Sex – May 20th 2pm ET\n\nEmploying a little known medieval reading of Leviticus that rationalizes the purpose of the law in Leviticus\, we will embark on a journey of discovery that highlights the powers and the threats of the mind and the body. \n\nSocial Order and Marriage: Women\, Wandering and the Problems of Desire – May 27th 2pm ET\n\nAn aristocratic rabbinic wedding becomes a scene of bawdy humor and bedtime worries about female sexual desire invite an array of questions on wealth\, gender\, marriage and most importantly\, sex.  These two key texts on male and female homosexuality will be studied side by side to see what can be discovered. \n\nGender and Identity: The Trans-formation of Difference – June 3rd 2pm ET\n\nThe tradition understands bodies as ordinarily either male or female. However\, reality proves more slippery that the binary frame articulates. We will explore an array of texts that attest to multiple grey areas and at moments\, with some anxiety\, actively highlights the power of difference. \n  \nInterview: Transgender Religious Discourse – June 10th 2pm ET \nSteve will lead a discussion with Joy Ladin on her book: The Soul of the Stranger: Reading God and Torah from a Transgender Perspective. \n  \n5. Gladiators and Kings: Stories of Love and Violence between Men – June 17th 2pm ET \nThis session introduces us to two very powerful narratives of male same-sex sexuality that helps to clarify the concerns we discovered in Genesis and the law we have been exploring in Leviticus. This last rationale for the prohibition will be explored for its redemptive possibilities alongside others. \n6. Goldilocks and the Three Orthodoxies: Facing the Challenges of Same-Sex Relationships – June 24th 2pm ET \nWhile the work is still in motion\, over the past decade of Eshel’s work\, real substantive movement can be seen.  On the basis of contemporary rabbinic responses and alongside recent Eshel Surveys of 175 Orthodox congregational rabbis we will discover how far we’ve come\, where resistance still thrives and the way forward toward a more embracing Orthodoxy.
