RuPaul’s Drag Race brought drag culture to the mainstream, and with it some fierce Jewish queens, but this art form has a long and diverse history. We will trace the subversive roots of cross-dressing in ancient texts, move through the traditions of drag queens and kings in Yiddish diaspora theatre, visit modern day gender-bending drag in prime-time TV and examine sabra drag among the LGBTQIA+ Israeli community.
