Queer Torah
Today • 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm
Queer Torah with R’ Hannah Jensen
For thousands of years our ancient texts have been weaponized against queer people and queer people have felt alienated and rejected from our Jewish communities.
But – there is more to the story. In this 4-part series we will explore the texts of our tradition that actually seem to reflect queer experiences and read other Jewish texts through a queer lens.
How much more connected can we feel to our tradition when it is more expansive?

newMoon Rosh Hodesh Circle
Shalom~
YOU are invited. All beings that can hold sacred and safe space for others to tap into belonging, are invited. All transwomxn, genderqueer, non-binary people, all who identify as women… All grandmas, daughters, mamas, aunties, sisters…if YOU are looking to journey in sacred community, then YOU are welcome to this intergenerational ritual.
Because we all need a fertile, sacred space to glean wisdom and heal…We gather together monthly in the garden for the newMOON, to pause and turn inward. Rooted in ancient Jewish ritual, we gather to explore monthly themes of the Hebrew calendar while making herbal bath salts. Join us for an evening of connection, reflection, and rejuvenation. Set intentions, release what no longer serves, and embrace new beginnings.
