Torah Portion: Ki Tavo

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author argues that this portion contains the “first full-fledged liturgy in Torah,” and notes that during the week the commentary was written, CBST and Sha'ar Zahav, the LGBT synagogues of New York and San Francisco, published their first siddurim (prayer books). He concludes with a short list of other queer-for-their-time liturgical firsts collected from some on-line sources.
