The Soul of the Stranger

The Torah through A Transgender Perspective with Joy Ladin

Join us for Shabbat Dinner with Joy Ladin. Drawing on her own experience and lifelong reading practice, Ladin shows how the Torah, a collection of ancient texts that assume human beings are either male or female, speaks both to practical transgender concerns, such as marginalization, and to the challenges of living without a body or social role that renders one intelligible to others―challenges that can help us understand a God who defies all human categories.
