SUMMARY:Trans Identity and Self Determination in Halakhah: Creating New Legal Paradigms for Queer Liberation & Expression
DESCRIPTION:What lies at the intersection of Jewish law and queer/trans experiences?  Too often our conversations about queer realities and traditional norms are about solving perceived problems and figuring out how to make adjustments or concessions to a normative system. What happens when we shift the conversation away from problems and “issues\,” and turn our attention to the areas of expansion in Jewish law that queer realities can create? We’ll investigate one example that addresses questions of self-determination in medical transition through a creative application of traditional halakhic sources. People of all backgrounds are welcome (all sources will be provided in English with reference to the original language) \nLaynie Soloman is a passionate teacher of Jewish text and thought\, and they believe deeply in the power of Talmud study as a healing and liberatory spiritual practice.  Laynie holds a M.A. in Jewish Education from The Jewish Theological Seminary\, is a Schusterman Fellow\, and received the Covenant Foundation’s 2020 Pomegranate Prize for Emerging Jewish Educators. \nJOIN VIA ZOOM\nMeeting ID: 873 4622 1069\nPasscode: PRIDE
