"Though halakhic literature has been written previously *about* trans people, this project is the first instance of material produced *by* trans people, informed by their own lives, experience and knowledge." @LexieB2 reports vashtimedia.com/2023/05/29/for…

More than any Jewish organization, including many which I support & am involved with, JFREJ represents my Judaism, a Judaism committed to everyone’s freedom safety & dignity, that actualizes the mitzvah of ahavat ha-ger (love the stranger) & shiftu dal (stand up for the poor).

At JFREJ, we affirm that all Jews...are Jewish! We draw meaning & power from a plurality of relationships to Judaism. Most of us find the juiciest inspiration at intersections of a few: historical, cultural, religious, political, familial. It’s nice! More people should try it 😎

Holy wow. @LaynieSolomxn of @SVARA_Yeshiva brings a fierce clarity to what 'legal' means when we're talking about the Talmud. (spoiler: laws w/out a government to enforce them are doing a different thing) Becoming Halakhically Ungovernable svara.org/the-halakha-of…

!!! This is beautiful. Between the @InovaHealth #Pride Clinic news today & this, it feels like something significant has shifted 💛. For all of the awful right now (and there's so much awful) there are still so many people making important, positive, progressive strides for good.
